Printed Wearable Sweat Rate Sensor for Continuous In Situ Perspiration Measurement
A wireless wearable sweat rate sensor system is presented, featuring digital 3D direct‐write printing on a flexible substrate with microfluidic layers for continuous, real‐time monitoring. Printed encapsulated metal electrodes are used for capacitance measurements, achieving high sensitivity (0.01 μL min−1) while maintaining a compact and lightweight ...

This study introduces a data‐driven framework that combines deep reinforcement learning with classical path planning to achieve adaptive microrobot navigation. By training a surrogate neural network to emulate microrobot dynamics, the approach improves learning efficiency, reduces training time, and enables robust real‐time obstacle avoidance in ...

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Design‐for‐Benchmarking in Soft Robotics: Navigating Component‐System Dichotomy
Soft robotics faces a profound evaluation challenge: the Component‐System Dichotomy, where isolated component tests fail to predict integrated performance. This article presents a systematic survey of critical reporting gaps across actuation, sensing, and control.
