A Soft Wearable Robot with an Adjustable Twisted String Actuator and a Two‐Stage Transmission Mechanism for Manual Handling Tasks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a soft wearable robot (WeaRo) to assist workers while executing manual handling tasks. With its innovative design, the WeaRo effectively assists multiple body parts during manual handling tasks while using a single motor. Furthermore, the components of the WeaRo are assembled onto a fabric‐based suit, ensuring high performance and

An Offline‐Cascade‐Online Learning‐Based Algorithm for Distal Trajectory Estimation of Medical Continuum Manipulators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An offline‐cascade‐online (OCO) estimation algorithm that achieves the distal trajectory estimation in unstructured working space and with long‐term visual occlusion is proposed. This OCO estimation algorithm cascades a backpropagation‐based offline learning and a radial basis function‐based online learning network, realizing the prior estimation and ...

Multifunctional Position and Stiffness Control of Soft Fluidic Actuators Using Supercooled Liquid

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work explores the use of supercooled liquid as a multifunctional working fluid for soft actuators to allow independent control of position and stiffness; the solution is used to both inflate the elastomer chambers while in liquid state and to achieve a dramatic increase in stiffness (up to 13 times) with rapid, reversible crystallization.

Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.
