Accurate and Anti‐Interference Control of Computer Vision‐Assisted Light‐Driven Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
This article introduces a computer vision‐assisted control strategy for light‐driven liquid crystal elastomer actuators. Through negative feedback regulation, the liquid crystal elastomer actuator exhibits accurate and stable bending deformation in complex environments.

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.

Untethered Autonomous Holonomic Mobile Micromanipulator for Operations in Isolated Confined Spaces

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a lightweight (515 g), compact (10 cm3), untethered holonomic mobile micromanipulator powered by piezoelectric actuators is presented. It autonomously manipulates mm to sub‐mm objects and droplets in narrow, hazardous spaces, achieving 0.18 ± 0.51 mm positioning accuracy and −0.4° ± 1.2° angular deviation.

Minimally Invasive Bowel Cancer Detection through Vibrating Microrobot‐Induced Elastography

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive diagnostic method for bowel cancer detection combines vibrating microrobots and laser speckle contrast imaging to map tissue elasticity. By analyzing vibration‐induced resonance, detailed elasticity maps are produced, clearly differentiating tumors from healthy tissue.
