Light‐Driven Quadrupedal Walking Biohybrid Robot With Antagonistic Muscle‐Rings and Inclined Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a light‐driven quadrupedal walking biohybrid robot powered by antagonistic muscle‐rings that achieve alternating walking gait. Optical training improved reproducibility of cultured muscle tissues, while caffeine treatment enhanced contractile force.

A Low‐Cost, Handheld Optical Stiffness Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel handheld stiffness sensor is presented for real‐time tissue stiffness characterization. By simultaneously sensing contact force and tissue deformation, the device enables accurate stiffness quantification without requiring precise manual control. This approach offers a promising solution for intraoperative tumor detection and minimally invasive

Force–Displacement Characterization of PNIPAM Microactuators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A method to experimentally establish a force–displacement diagram of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) microactuators, printed by 2PP, is presented herein. PNIPAM is a hydrogel whose volume and stiffness change with temperature due to the absorption or release of water.
