Bringing underserved communities life-saving aid through aerial logistics.

Science robotics
Autonomous drone delivery of medical supplies has improved access to health care for local communities in Africa.

Mechanical intelligence simplifies control in terrestrial limbless locomotion.

Science robotics
Limbless locomotors, from microscopic worms to macroscopic snakes, traverse complex, heterogeneous natural environments typically using undulatory body wave propagation. Theoretical and robophysical models typically emphasize body kinematics and acti...

Culturally competent social robots target inclusion in Africa.

Science robotics
Embedding culturally sensitive body, hand, and facial gestures in social robots will make them more acceptable in Africa.

Human motor augmentation with an extra robotic arm without functional interference.

Science robotics
Extra robotic arms (XRAs) are gaining interest in neuroscience and robotics, offering potential tools for daily activities. However, this compelling opportunity poses new challenges for sensorimotor control strategies and human-machine interfaces (HM...

Wild Tech: Exploring South Africa's unique robotics landscape.

Science robotics
South Africa's location-specific opportunities have enabled local researchers to establish a niche in the robotics community.

Toward three-dimensional DNA industrial nanorobots.

Science robotics
Nanoscale industrial robots have potential as manufacturing platforms and are capable of automatically performing repetitive tasks to handle and produce nanomaterials with consistent precision and accuracy. We demonstrate a DNA industrial nanorobot t...

Animal robots in the African wilderness: Lessons learned and outlook for field robotics.

Science robotics
In early 2016, we had the opportunity to test a pair of sprawling posture robots, one designed to mimic a crocodile and another designed to mimic a monitor lizard, along the banks of the Nile River in Uganda, Africa. These robots were developed uniqu...

Lateral flexion of a compliant spine improves motor performance in a bioinspired mouse robot.

Science robotics
A flexible spine is critical to the motion capability of most animals and plays a pivotal role in their agility. Although state-of-the-art legged robots have already achieved very dynamic and agile movement solely relying on their legs, they still ex...

A metric for characterizing the arm nonuse workspace in poststroke individuals using a robot arm.

Science robotics
An overreliance on the less-affected limb for functional tasks at the expense of the paretic limb and in spite of recovered capacity is an often-observed phenomenon in survivors of hemispheric stroke. The difference between capacity for use and actua...

The role of collaborative robotics in assistive and rehabilitation applications.

Science robotics
Collaborative robotics principles and advancements may transform the field of assistive and rehabilitation robotics.
