Laser Micromachining of Liquid Metal Patterns for Stretchable Electronic Circuits
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A cleanroom‐free fabrication strategy combines UV‐laser micromachining with a copper foil wetting layer to rapidly produce high resolution, liquid metal based stretchable electronic circuits on diverse substrates. The scalable, maskless process enables complex circuit designs (<$<$3 h, ∼$\sim$15/device) with excellent electrical stability under strain,

Hydrostatic actuation for wearable robotics
Exoskeletons require energy efficient actuators of low mass and volume (to increase wearability) with controlled output force, sufficient for full gait support. The main research objective of this work was to develop such an actuator.First, the concept of the passive return electro-hydrostatic actuator (PREHydrA) was developed.
