A Flexible and Adhesive Strain Sensor Based on Deep Eutectic Solvents for Deep Learning-Assisted Signal Recognition.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Flexible wearable electronic devices have garnered significant interest due to their inherent properties, serving as replacements for traditional rigid metal conductors in personal healthcare monitoring, human motion detection, and sensory skin appli...

Machine learning-based optimal design of fibrillar adhesives.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Fibrillar adhesion, observed in animals like beetles, spiders and geckos, relies on nanoscopic or microscopic fibrils to enhance surface adhesion via 'contact splitting'. This concept has inspired engineering applications across robotics, transportat...

Versatile adhesive skin enhances robotic interactions with the environment.

Science advances
Electronic skins endow robots with sensory functions but often lack the multifunctionality of natural skin, such as switchable adhesion. Current smart adhesives based on elastomers have limited adhesion tunability, which hinders their effective use f...

Stiffness-tunable velvet worm-inspired soft adhesive robot.

Science advances
Considering the characteristics and operating environment of remotely controlled miniature soft robots, achieving delicate adhesion control over various target surfaces is a substantial challenge. In particular, the ability to delicately grasp wrinkl...

A Biomimetic Adhesive Disc for Robotic Adhesion Sliding Inspired by the Net-Winged Midge Larva.

Soft robotics
Net-winged midge larvae (Blephariceridae) are known for their remarkable ability to adhere to and crawl on the slippery surfaces of rocks in fast-flowing and turbulent alpine streams, waterfalls, and rivers. This remarkable performance can be attribu...

A Sensorized Soft Robotic Hand with Adhesive Fingertips for Multimode Grasping and Manipulation.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic grippers excel at achieving conformal and reliable contact with objects without the need for complex control algorithms. However, they still lack in grasp and manipulation abilities compared with human hands. In this study, we present a ...

Skin preparation-free, stretchable microneedle adhesive patches for reliable electrophysiological sensing and exoskeleton robot control.

Science advances
High-fidelity and comfortable recording of electrophysiological (EP) signals with on-the-fly setup is essential for health care and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Microneedle electrodes allow direct access to the epidermis and eliminate time-consum...

Injection-on-Skin Granular Adhesive for Interactive Human-Machine Interface.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Realization of interactive human-machine interfaces (iHMI) is improved with development of soft tissue-like strain sensors beyond hard robotic exosuits, potentially allowing cognitive behavior therapy and physical rehabilitation for patients with bra...

Design of large-span stick-slip freely switchable hydrogels via dynamic multiscale contact synergy.

Nature communications
Solid matter that can rapidly and reversibly switch between adhesive and non-adhesive states is desired in many technological domains including climbing robotics, actuators, wound dressings, and bioelectronics due to the ability for on-demand attachm...

Solution structure of recombinant Pvfp-5β reveals insights into mussel adhesion.

Communications biology
Some marine organisms can resist to aqueous tidal environments and adhere tightly on wet surface. This behavior has raised increasing attention for potential applications in medicine, biomaterials, and tissue engineering. In mussels, adhesive forces ...
