Soft robots provide significant advantages over their rigid counterparts. These compliant,
dexterous devices can navigate delicate environments with ease without damage to …

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids, which stiffen in the presence of magnetic fields, have been
shown to be an effective means for controlling the inflation of soft actuators. However, past …

Soft robots are well-suited for human-centric applications, but the compliance that gives soft
robots this advantage must also be paired with adequate stiffness modulation such that soft …

Fluidic soft robots bring a high degree of dexterity and adaptability to robotics problems
requiring safe interactions with complex structures. While they are low cost and easy to …

Precision complex surfaces components are in high demand for optical imaging, high-power
lasers, and medical implants. Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is widely used in ultra …

Shear thickening fluid (STF) is a nano-smart material that exhibits an instantaneous increase
in viscosity when subjected to specific external loads. Notably, its viscosity response does …

For individuals with hand motor function losses, rehabilitation is necessary for regaining
strength and range of motion to accomplish daily activities. Typically within a clinical setting …

A novel magnetorheological-polyethylene glycol (PEG) shear thickening gel (MR-PSTG)
with both shear thickening and magnetorheological effect is prepared based on …

The results of an experimental investigation on a developed small-scale MR damper for
seismic response reduction in buildings are presented in this article. The damper is intended …

Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) are suspensions of magnetic particles that solidify in the
presence of a magnetic field. While non‐magnetic additives could improve MRF …
