Adaptive dual-programming magnetic soft robot with lifelike behavior
Reference #1 Abstract INTRODUCTION RESULTS DISCUSSION MATERIALS AND METHODS Acknowledgments Supplementary Materials REFERENCES eLetters (0) Information & Authors Metrics & Citations View Options References Figures Tables Media Share This article has 0 eLetter . Abstract Magnetic soft robots with embodied intelligence of multimodal motions, environmental perception, and functional decoupling depend on ingenious material arrangement and programmable morphing information introduction.
Dynamic coupling enables impulsive ejection in a hydrogel catapult
Abstract Ejection dynamics can provide miniature robots with high-speed, cross-scale locomotion and non-contact operation. Here, we present a dynamic coupling ejection strategy for generating and transferring kinetic energy in miniature robotics. We demonstrate this strategy using a bilayer hydrogel catapult, in which rapid phase-transition-driven deformation couples dynamically with the projectile and the substrate, enabling substantial power output and kinetic energy release.
Stretchable multimodal deformation sensor with self-mode recognition by a single Hall sensor
Abstract Stretchable sensor technologies capable of tracking multiple deformation modalities have attracted increasing attention due to their potential ability to improve the intelligence of soft robotics, stretchable electronics, and other soft-body systems. Existing multimodal deformation sensors typically require either complicated system integration and sensor layout or complex algorithmic techniques based on computational modeling and machine learning methods.
Modular magnetic microrobot system for robust endoluminal navigation and high-radial force stent delivery in complex ductal anatomy
Abstract Endoluminal stent implantation is a common intervention strategy for treating obstructive lesions, but conventional delivery systems struggle to reach deep, tortuous ducts. To overcome this limitation, we present a magnetically controlled microrobot that integrates two functional modules: a magnetic actuation (MA) module for agile navigation and an ultrasound-responsive self-expanding stent module (ST module) for lesion-specific dilation.
Fully Recyclable, Healable, Soft, and Stretchable Dynamic Polymers for Magnetic Soft Robots
Abstract Magnetic soft robots capable of wirelessly controlled programmable deformation and locomotion are desirable for diverse applications. Such multi-variable actuation ideally requires a polymer matrix with a well-defined range of softness and stretchability (Young's modulus of 0.1–10 MPa, high stretchability >200%).
