Bio-Inspired Hydrogel Electrode for Plant-Leaf Signals: IJASC

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A co-first-authored paper introduces a hydrogel-integrated, octopus-inspired adhesive (H-OIA) patch with an engineered silicone interface that conforms to the rough, variably-hydrated surface of plant leaves. On Coffea arabica, it enables stable long-term recording of stimulus-responsive plant bioelectrical signals where conventional electrodes detach.

Octopus-Mimicking Soft Grippers: Review in Biomimetics

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

A co-first-authored review in Biomimetics surveys octopus-inspired soft grippers across three functional dimensions: structural and sensing devices, control strategies, and AI-driven applications. It maps suction-cup geometries, tentacle-like actuators, and hybrid designs toward more capable, intelligent soft robots.
