  • Patent number: 11618158
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new pneumatic-actuated multifunctional doming actuator. The doming actuator can be used as a doming actuator, which can maintain machine/robotic operation on vertical surfaces without falling. The doming actuators exhibit rapid switchable adhesion/deadhesion on target surfaces upon pressurizing/depressurizing the embedded spiral pneumatic channels. The present invention also relates to novel load-carrying and climbing soft robots using the doming actuators. The soft robots are operable on a wide range of horizontal and vertical surfaces including dry, wet, slippery, smooth, and semi-smooth surfaces. In addition, the doming actuators can be used as a driving actuator for swimming soft robotics and as an actuator for soft grippers.

  • Publication number: 20220311931
    Abstract: This application provides a photographing method and an electronic device. In the photographing method, a virtual shutter button provided on a photographing preview interface can trigger a photographing or video recording function by when tapped by a user. The virtual shutter button has a same function as a shutter button of a camera application. When the user uses the photographing function of the electronic device, the virtual shutter button may move on the photographing preview interface based on a touch input of the user, thereby improving photographing experience of the user. In addition, the user may complete a photographing operation by touching and tapping the virtual shutter button, and therefore, shake caused by taking a photo by pressing a mechanical button (for example, a volume button) is avoided, and quality of a captured photo is ensured.
