Fast-Swimming Soft Robotic Fish Actuated by Bionic Muscle.

Soft robotics
Soft underwater swimming robots actuated by smart materials have unique advantages in exploring the ocean, such as low noise, high flexibility, and friendly environment interaction ability. However, most of them typically exhibit limited swimming spe...

BioinspiredLLM: Conversational Large Language Model for the Mechanics of Biological and Bio-Inspired Materials.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
The study of biological materials and bio-inspired materials science is well established; however, surprisingly little knowledge is systematically translated to engineering solutions. To accelerate discovery and guide insights, an open-source autoreg...

Vision-controlled jetting for composite systems and robots.

Nature
Recreating complex structures and functions of natural organisms in a synthetic form is a long-standing goal for humanity. The aim is to create actuated systems with high spatial resolutions and complex material arrangements that range from elastic t...

Nanoenabled Trainable Systems: From Biointerfaces to Biomimetics.

ACS nano
In the dynamic biological system, cells and tissues adapt to diverse environmental conditions and form memories, an essential aspect of training for survival and evolution. An understanding of the biological training principles will inform the design...

A perspective on plant robotics: from bioinspiration to hybrid systems.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
As miscellaneous as the Plant Kingdom is, correspondingly diverse are the opportunities for taking inspiration from plants for innovations in science and engineering. Especially in robotics, properties like growth, adaptation to environments, ingenio...

Accommodating unobservability to control flight attitude with optic flow.

Nature
Attitude control is an essential flight capability. Whereas flying robots commonly rely on accelerometers for estimating attitude, flying insects lack an unambiguous sense of gravity. Despite the established role of several sense organs in attitude s...

Will microfluidics enable functionally integrated biohybrid robots?

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The next robotics frontier will be led by biohybrids. Capable biohybrid robots require microfluidics to sustain, improve, and scale the architectural complexity of their core ingredient: biological tissues. Advances in microfluidics have already revo...

Bioinspired Freeze-Tolerant Soft Materials: Design, Properties, and Applications.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
In nature, many biological organisms have developed the exceptional antifreezing ability to survive in extremely cold environments. Inspired by the freeze resistance of these organisms, researchers have devoted extensive efforts to develop advanced f...

3D printing of resilient biogels for omnidirectional and exteroceptive soft actuators.

Science robotics
Soft robotics greatly benefits from nature as a source of inspiration, introducing innate means of safe interaction between robotic appliances and living organisms. In contrast, the materials involved are often nonbiodegradable or stem from nonrenewa...

Learning robust perceptive locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild.

Science robotics
Legged robots that can operate autonomously in remote and hazardous environments will greatly increase opportunities for exploration into underexplored areas. Exteroceptive perception is crucial for fast and energy-efficient locomotion: Perceiving th...
