Boundary curvature guided programmable shape-morphing kirigami sheets.

Nature communications
Kirigami, a traditional paper cutting art, offers a promising strategy for 2D-to-3D shape morphing through cut-guided deformation. Existing kirigami designs for target 3D curved shapes rely on intricate cut patterns in thin sheets, making the inverse...

Carved Turn Control with Gate Vision Recognition of a Humanoid Robot for Giant Slalom Skiing on Ski Slopes.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The performance of humanoid robots is improving, owing in part to their participation in robot games such as the DARPA Robotics Challenge. Along with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, a Skiing Robot Competition was held in which humanoid robot...

A support vector machine algorithm can successfully classify running ability when trained with wearable sensor data from anatomical locations typical of consumer technology.

Sports biomechanics
Greater understanding of differences in technique between runners may allow more beneficial feedback related to improving performance and decreasing injury risk. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a support vector machine classifier, w...

Review on generic methods for mechanical modeling, simulation and control of soft robots.

PloS one
In this review paper, we are interested in the models and algorithms that allow generic simulation and control of a soft robot. First, we start with a quick overview of modeling approaches for soft robots and available methods for calculating the mec...

Functional cortical localization of tongue movements using corticokinematic coherence with a deep learning-assisted motion capture system.

Scientific reports
Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between magnetoencephalographic and movement signals using an accelerometer is useful for the functional localization of the primary sensorimotor cortex (SM1). However, it is difficult to determine the tongue CKC beca...

Zoomorphic Mobile Robot Development for Vertical Movement Based on the Geometrical Family Caterpillar.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Research in robotics is one of the promising areas in mobile robot development, which is planned to be implemented in extreme dangerous conditions of areas explored by humans. This article aims at developing and improving a prototype of zoomorphic mo...

Shape Sensing of Hyper-Redundant Robots Using an AHRS IMU Sensor Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The paper proposes a novel approach for shape sensing of hyper-redundant robots based on an AHRS IMU sensor network embedded into the structure of the robot. The proposed approach uses the data from the sensor network to directly calculate the kinema...

Tunable stiffness in fish robotics: mechanisms and advantages.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
One of the emerging themes of fish-inspired robotics is flexibility. Adding flexibility to the body, joints, or fins of fish-inspired robots can significantly improve thrust and/or efficiency during locomotion. However, the optimal stiffness depends ...
