Bio‐Inspired Soft‐Rigid Hybrid Smart Artificial Muscle
In article number 2206342, Hongmiao Tian and co‐workers propose a soft‐rigid hybrid smart artificial muscle (SRH‐SAM), which ingeniously coordinates the actuation, load‐bearing, and sensory systems. Based on the SRH‐SAM, an advanced approach for a reconfigurable blazed grating plane and a new strategy for controllable attachment/detachment transformation...
Artificial muscles are of significant value in robotic applications. Rigid artificial muscles possess a strong load‐bearing capacity, while their deformation is small; soft artificial muscles can be shifted to a large degree; however, their load‐bearing capacity is weak. Furthermore, artificial muscles are generally controlled in an open loop due to a lack of deformation‐related feedback. Human arms...
