The given research presents an innovative insole‐based device employing self‐powered triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) for flatfoot detection. By integrating TENG tactile sensors within an insole, the device converts mechanical energy from foot movements to electrical signals analyzed via machine learning, achieving an 82% accuracy rate in flatfoot ...

Compact Planar Low‐Voltage Electroadhesion Pads for Reversible Tissue and Hydrogel Adhesion
This work presents a planar, low‐voltage electroadhesion (LVEA) pad with reversible adhesion to tissues and anionic hydrogels at 10 V or less. On‐demand adhesion and release of a biological tissue using a single surface contact has been realized. Geometric design of the electroadhesion pad is investigated through experimental and computational methods ...

When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...
