Heterogeneous sensing in a multifunctional soft sensor for human-robot interfaces.

Science robotics
Soft sensors have been playing a crucial role in detecting different types of physical stimuli to part or the entire body of a robot, analogous to mechanoreceptors or proprioceptors in biology. Most of the currently available soft sensors with compac...

Good vibrations for flapping-wing flyers.

Science robotics
Studies of insect flight reveal how flapping-induced vibrations augment flight stability of tailless flapping-wing flyers.

Enhancing insect flight research with a lab-on-cables.

Science robotics
A cable-driven robot that tracks flying insects at close range offers a useful method to study insects in free flight.

An 88-milligram insect-scale autonomous crawling robot driven by a catalytic artificial muscle.

Science robotics
The creation of autonomous subgram microrobots capable of complex behaviors remains a grand challenge in robotics largely due to the lack of microactuators with high work densities and capable of using power sources with specific energies comparable ...

Wireless steerable vision for live insects and insect-scale robots.

Science robotics
Vision serves as an essential sensory input for insects but consumes substantial energy resources. The cost to support sensitive photoreceptors has led many insects to develop high visual acuity in only small retinal regions and evolve to move their ...

Design and Preliminary Implementation of an Air Microfluidics Enabled Soft Robotic Knee Brace Towards the Management of Osteoarthritis.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A dynamic and low-profile unloader tibiofemoral knee brace is designed and prototyped by synergizing concepts from the fields of microfluidics and soft robotics. Microfluidics provides strategies for miniaturization and multiplexing while soft roboti...

Learning Conflicts for C-arm Kinematic Modeling using Artificial Intelligence.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
During common surgical tasks related to orthopedic applications, it is necessary to carefully manipulate a mobile C-arm device to achieve the desired position. In this work, we propose the application of learning conflicts analysis to improve the per...

Lateral Oscillation and Body Compliance Help Snakes and Snake Robots Stably Traverse Large, Smooth Obstacles.

Integrative and comparative biology
Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Similarly, snake robots hold the promise as a versatile platform to traverse complex environments such as earthquake rubble. Unlike snake locomotion on flat surfaces which is inherently stable, when snakes ...

Immune evasion by designer microrobots.

Science robotics
Recent work is unveiling the interactions between magnetic microswimmers and cells of the immune system.
