Metabolically efficient walking assistance using optimized timed forces at the waist.

Science robotics
The metabolic rate of walking can be reduced by applying a constant forward force at the center of mass. It has been shown that the metabolically optimal constant force magnitude minimizes propulsion ground reaction force at the expense of increased ...

Guiding the design of superresolution tactile skins with taxel value isolines theory.

Science robotics
Tactile feedback is essential to make robots more agile and effective in unstructured environments. However, high-resolution tactile skins are not widely available; this is due to the large size of robust sensing units and because many units typicall...

Electronics-free soft robot has a nice ring to it.

Science robotics
A fluidic ring oscillator provides timing to soft robots, thus enabling complex locomotion and load carrying.

Harnessing the circular economy to develop sustainable soft robots.

Science robotics
Fully recyclable and degradable materials have been used for the development of soft devices for omnidirectional sensing and actuation.

3D printing of resilient biogels for omnidirectional and exteroceptive soft actuators.

Science robotics
Soft robotics greatly benefits from nature as a source of inspiration, introducing innate means of safe interaction between robotic appliances and living organisms. In contrast, the materials involved are often nonbiodegradable or stem from nonrenewa...

Autonomous robotic surgery makes light work of anastomosis.

Science robotics
An autonomous robotic laparoscopic surgical technique is capable of tracking tissue motion and offers consistency in suturing for the anastomosis of the small bowel.

Light-driven carbon nitride microswimmers with propulsion in biological and ionic media and responsive on-demand drug delivery.

Science robotics
We propose two-dimensional poly(heptazine imide) (PHI) carbon nitride microparticles as light-driven microswimmers in various ionic and biological media. Their high-speed (15 to 23 micrometer per second; 9.5 ± 5.4 body lengths per second) swimming in...

Learning robust perceptive locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild.

Science robotics
Legged robots that can operate autonomously in remote and hazardous environments will greatly increase opportunities for exploration into underexplored areas. Exteroceptive perception is crucial for fast and energy-efficient locomotion: Perceiving th...

Quadruped robots venture into the wild with open eyes.

Science robotics
Perception-based locomotion learning accelerates the real-world deployment of quadruped robots.
