Paired Fluid‐Mediated Bidirectional SMA Actuators for Soft Robots (Adv. Mater. Technol. 22/2025)
Soft Robots The cover illustrates the Paired-FBSMA actuators integrate parallel SMA springs with fluid-filled bellows; two units are linked to exchange fluid, enabling active bidirectional actuation. Force and stroke can be tuned by the internal water-air ratio. The figure also highlights the actuator's versatility through demonstrations in a soft crawling robot and a 2-DOF joint.
