Monolithic Biohybrid Flexure Mechanism Actuated by Bioengineered Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A scalable, monolithic biohybrid flexure mechanism is presented, integrating engineered skeletal muscle tissue with a soft, biocompatible, hollow silicone cylinder featuring dual pillars. Muscle contraction induces bending motion upon electrical stimulation, with performance governed by the structure's flexural rigidity.

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Liquid metal “sloshing” by the robot's own actuator is proposed to improve the self‐healing performance. The proposed method drastically enhances the healed strength by decomposing the surface oxides and the impurities. The method contributes to the world's first demonstration of active self‐healing behavior performed by a life‐sized legged robot. Self‐

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.

Reconfigurable Haptic Feedback: Comprehensive Design and Control Framework
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Herein, a modular framework is presented for designing and controlling soft robotic haptic devices capable of shape and stiffness modulation. These reconfigurable modules enable adaptable tactile feedback for virtual reality and assistive rehabilitation. Two use cases are demonstrated and it is shown how minimal sensing, combined with machine learning,
