Danger! This robot may be trying to manipulate you.

Science robotics
Human-like social robots are designed to support communication, but this approach can enable them to be dangerously persuasive.

Spiking neural networks take control.

Science robotics
Brain-inspired neural network architecture overcomes unsolved classical control theory problem for telerobotics.

A cerebellar-based solution to the nondeterministic time delay problem in robotic control.

Science robotics
The presence of computation and transmission-variable time delays within a robotic control loop is a major cause of instability, hindering safe human-robot interaction (HRI) under these circumstances. Classical control theory has been adapted to coun...

A meta-analysis on the effectiveness of anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction.

Science robotics
The application of anthropomorphic design features is widely assumed to facilitate human-robot interaction (HRI). However, a considerable number of study results point in the opposite direction. There is currently no comprehensive common ground on th...

Electro-pneumatic pumps for soft robotics.

Science robotics
Soft robotics has applications in myriad fields from assistive wearables to autonomous exploration. Now, the portability and the performance of many devices are limited by their associated pneumatic energy source, requiring either large, heavy pressu...

The potential of socially assistive robots during infectious disease outbreaks.

Science robotics
Robots have a role in addressing the secondary impacts of infectious disease outbreaks by helping us sustain social distancing, monitoring and improving mental health, supporting education, and aiding in economic recovery.

Electronic skins and machine learning for intelligent soft robots.

Science robotics
Soft robots have garnered interest for real-world applications because of their intrinsic safety embedded at the material level. These robots use deformable materials capable of shape and behavioral changes and allow conformable physical contact for ...

Robotic vertical jumping agility via series-elastic power modulation.

Science robotics
Several arboreal mammals have the ability to rapidly and repeatedly jump vertical distances of 2 m, starting from rest. We characterize this performance by a metric we call vertical jumping agility. Through basic kinetic relations, we show that this ...

Soft robotic steerable microcatheter for the endovascular treatment of cerebral disorders.

Science robotics
Catheters used for endovascular navigation in interventional procedures lack dexterity at the distal tip. Neurointerventionists, in particular, encounter challenges in up to 25% of aneurysm cases largely due to the inability to steer and navigate the...
