Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

Toward Fully Soft and Multifunctional Shape Sensing via Optical Waveguide Arrays

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work develops a sheet made with arrays of soft optical fibers that can reconstruct its 3D surface shape. Synergy of the waveguides’ responses to bending and pressing force allows shape reconstruction with resilience to damage. Applied onto surfaces of robotic or living systems, our design can be implemented in virtual reality, teleoperation ...

Adaptive Collision Sensitivity for Efficient and Safe Human–Robot Collaboration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An adaptive collision‐sensitivity framework uses each robot link's effective mass to estimate contact forces online and decide when collaborative robots should stop or continue. Tested on simulated and real UR10e and simulated KUKA arms, it maintains conservative force estimates while reducing unnecessary stops and increasing task productivity. What is

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development
