Two of the main challenges in origami antenna designs are creating a reliable hinge and achieving precise actuation for optimal electromagnetic (EM) performance. Herein, a waterbomb origami ring antenna is introduced, integrating the waterbomb origam

Herein, complex motion in soft, fluid‐driven actuators composed of elastomer bladders arranged around a neutral plane and connected by slender tubes is demonstrated. Rather than relying on complex feedback control or multiple inputs, the motion is

Abstract Elastomer‐granule composites have been used to switch between soft and stiff states by applying negative pressure differentials that cause the membrane to squeeze the internal grains, inducing dilation and jamming. Applications of this phe

Aeronautics research has continually sought to achieve the adaptability and morphing performance of avian wings, but in practice, wings of all scales continue to use the same hinged control-surface embodiment. Recent research into compliant and bio-i

We use magnetohydrodynamic levitation as a means to create a soft, elastomeric, solenoid-driven pump (ESP). We present a theoretical framework and fabrication of a pump designed to address the unique challenges of soft robotics, maintaining pumping p

We introduce damage intelligent soft-bodied systems via a network of self-healing light guides for dynamic sensing (SHeaLDS). Exploiting the intrinsic damage resilience of light propagation in an optical waveguide, in combination with a tough, transp

To mitigate the adverse effects of elevated temperatures, conventional rigid devices use bulky radiators, heat sinks and fans to dissipate heat from sensitive components. Unfortunately, these thermoregulation strategies are incompatible with soft rob
