Bi-stable thin soft robot for in-plane locomotion in narrow space (2025)
Journal Article
Wang, X., Liu, Y., Tu, J., Chang, J.-C., Wang, F., Axinte, D., & Dong, X. (2025). Bi-stable thin soft robot for in-plane locomotion in narrow space. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 10(7), 6568-6575. https://doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2025.3568605

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), also recognised as artificial muscle, have been widely developed for the soft locomotion robot. With the complaint skeleton and miniaturised dimension, they are well suited for the narrow space inspection. In th...

Fast-moving thin soft-rigid hybrid robot driven by in-plane dielectric elastomer actuator (2025)
Journal Article
Wang, X., Chang, J.-C., Li, S., He, C., Wang, F., Axinte, D., & Dong, X. (2025). Fast-moving thin soft-rigid hybrid robot driven by in-plane dielectric elastomer actuator. Smart Materials and Structures, 34(5), Article 055005. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-665x/add067

In-plane thin dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) represent a promising solution for miniaturised soft robots capable of navigating confined spaces. However, most existing in-plane DEAs are either fabricated using off-the-shelf materials or rely on...

Development of a Continuum Robot with inflatable Stiffness-adjustable Elements for In-situ Repair of Aeroengines (2025)
Journal Article
Chang, J.-C., Dai, H., Wang, X., Axinte, D., & Dong, X. (2025). Development of a Continuum Robot with inflatable Stiffness-adjustable Elements for In-situ Repair of Aeroengines. Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, 95, Article 103018. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcim.2025.103018

Continuum robots, with their slender configuration and high redundancy, gain increasing interest in industrial applications such as intervention within confined spaces. However, when the robot end effector is required to travel a long distance, the e...
