Toward a living soft microrobot through optogenetic locomotion control of .

Science robotics
Learning from the locomotion of natural organisms is one of the most effective strategies for designing microrobots. However, the development of bioinspired microrobots is still challenging because of technical bottlenecks such as design and seamless...

Burrowing soft robots break new ground.

Science robotics
A bioinspired soft robot burrows through shallow dry sand with remarkable speed and maneuverability.

Modeling, learning, perception, and control methods for deformable object manipulation.

Science robotics
Perceiving and handling deformable objects is an integral part of everyday life for humans. Automating tasks such as food handling, garment sorting, or assistive dressing requires open problems of modeling, perceiving, planning, and control to be sol...

Manipulation for self-Identification, and self-Identification for better manipulation.

Science robotics
The process of modeling a series of hand-object parameters is crucial for precise and controllable robotic in-hand manipulation because it enables the mapping from the hand's actuation input to the object's motion to be obtained. Without assuming tha...

Robotic hand augmentation drives changes in neural body representation.

Science robotics
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....

Co-designing hardware and control for robot hands.

Science robotics
Policy gradient methods can be used for mechanical and computational co-design of robot manipulators.

Grasping with kirigami shells.

Science robotics
The ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects is a vital and fundamental operation in biological and engineering systems. Here, we present a soft gripper using a simple material system that enables precise and rapid grasping, and can be miniaturi...

Complex manipulation with a simple robotic hand through contact breaking and caging.

Science robotics
Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In this work, we leveraged a potential energy-based whole-hand manipulation model, which does n...

Dual high-stroke and high-work capacity artificial muscles inspired by DNA supercoiling.

Science robotics
Powering miniature robots using actuating materials that mimic skeletal muscle is attractive because conventional mechanical drive systems cannot be readily downsized. However, muscle is not the only mechanically active system in nature, and the thou...

Voxelated three-dimensional miniature magnetic soft machines via multimaterial heterogeneous assembly.

Science robotics
Small-scale soft-bodied machines that respond to externally applied magnetic field have attracted wide research interest because of their unique capabilities and promising potential in a variety of fields, especially for biomedical applications. When...
