BACKGROUND: The single port surgical robot causes only one incision and brings many benefits to patients. It is very challenging to design a single port surgical robot that causes a smaller incision than current products.
Inverse kinematics problems (IKP) are ubiquitous in robotics for improved robot control in widespread applications. However, the high non-linearity, complexity, and equation coupling of a general six-axis robotic manipulator pose substantial challeng...
Voxel-based structures provide a modular, mechanically flexible periodic lattice, which can be used as a soft robot through internal deformations. To engage these structures for robotic tasks, we use a finite element method to characterize the motion...
The paper deals with the design and testing of a robot for industrial applications featuring omnidirectionality thanks to the use of mecanum wheels. While this architecture provides remarkable manoeuvrability in narrow or cluttered spaces, it has som...
Traditional flapping-wing robots (FWRs) obtain lift and thrust by relying on the passive deformation of their wings which cannot actively fold or deform. In contrast, flying creatures such as birds, bats, and insects can maneuver agilely through acti...

Soft exosuits offer promise to support users in everyday workload tasks by providing assistance. However, acceptance of such systems remains low due to the difficulty of control compared with rigid mechatronic systems. Recently, there has been progre...
Many anticipated physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) applications in the near future are overground tasks such as walking assistance. For investigating the biomechanics of human movement during pHRI, this work presents Ophrie, a novel interactive...
Monitoring and tracking issues related to autonomous mobile robots are currently intensively debated in order to ensure a more fluent functionality in supply chain management. The interest arises from both theoretical and practical concerns about pro...
With tracking systems becoming more widespread in sports research and regular training and competitions, more data are available for sports analytics and performance prediction. We analyzed 2523 ski jumps from 205 athletes on five venues. For every j...
