Fast and programmable locomotion of hydrogel-metal hybrids under light and magnetic fields.
Science robotics
Dec 9, 2020
The design of soft matter in which internal fuels or an external energy input can generate locomotion and shape transformations observed in living organisms is a key challenge. Such materials could assist in productive functions that may range from r...
Good vibrations for flapping-wing flyers.
Science robotics
Sep 30, 2020
Studies of insect flight reveal how flapping-induced vibrations augment flight stability of tailless flapping-wing flyers.
Biomorphic structural batteries for robotics.
Science robotics
Aug 19, 2020
Batteries with conformal shape and multiple functionalities could provide new degrees of freedom in the design of robotic devices. For example, the ability to provide both load bearing and energy storage can increase the payload and extend the operat...
An 88-milligram insect-scale autonomous crawling robot driven by a catalytic artificial muscle.
Science robotics
Aug 19, 2020
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 ...
Discovery and design of soft polymeric bio-inspired materials with multiscale simulations and artificial intelligence.
Journal of materials chemistry. B
Aug 12, 2020
Materials chemistry is at the forefront of the global "Fourth Industrial Revolution", in part by establishing a "Materials 4.0" paradigm. A key aspect of this paradigm is developing methods to effectively integrate hardware, software, and biological ...
Ionic spiderwebs.
Science robotics
Jul 15, 2020
Spiders use adhesive, stretchable, and translucent webs to capture their prey. However, sustaining the capturing capability of these webs can be challenging because the webs inevitably invite contamination, thus reducing its adhesion force. To overco...
Wireless steerable vision for live insects and insect-scale robots.
Science robotics
Jul 15, 2020
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 ...
Elucidating the interaction dynamics between microswimmer body and immune system for medical microrobots.
Science robotics
Jun 17, 2020
The structural design parameters of a medical microrobot, such as the morphology and surface chemistry, should aim to minimize any physical interactions with the cells of the immune system. However, the same surface-borne design parameters are also c...
Multifunctional surface microrollers for targeted cargo delivery in physiological blood flow.
Science robotics
May 20, 2020
Mobile microrobots offer great promise for minimally invasive targeted medical theranostic applications at hard-to-access regions inside the human body. The circulatory system represents the ideal route for navigation; however, blood flow impairs pro...
An untethered isoperimetric soft robot.
Science robotics
Mar 18, 2020
For robots to be useful for real-world applications, they must be safe around humans, be adaptable to their environment, and operate in an untethered manner. Soft robots could potentially meet these requirements; however, existing soft robotic archit...
