Wall-climbing robots (WCRs) using numerous attachment/grasping mechanisms replace humans in executing repetitive or challenging tasks in space-confined, high-risk, or radioactive environments, garnering substantial research interest. Nevertheless, th...
Soft-body grippers are highly pliable due to the use of flexible materials, which enable safe grasping of objects, but their load-bearing capacity is limited by the mechanical properties of the materials themselves. To address the problem of insuffic...
Humans can now emulate language in silica-based neural networks, but we remain ignorant about how language emerged in carbon-based neural networks in the first place. This gap represents not merely a scientific blind spot, but a unique opportunity to...
Modern bio-inspired robotic fish design increasingly focuses on integrating biological inspiration with engineering-oriented structural solutions to enhance locomotion performance and meet practical application demands. Among these, the crank-linkage...
Traditional locomotion strategies fail in low-Reynolds-number fluid environments, where viscous forces dominate over inertial forces. Microorganisms have developed specialized structures such as cilia and flagella to overcome this challenge, enabling...
Bio-robots, a novel type of robot based on a brain-machine interface, have shown great potential in search and rescue tasks. Current research is focused on the bio-robot itself, such as locomotion, localization and navigation, but lacks interactions ...
Latch-mediated spring actuation systems leverage the interplay of springs and latches to rapidly accelerate a load. In biological systems, elastic energy is often distributed across multiple structures, resulting in forces applied from multiple sprin...
Biologically-inspired jumping robots have demonstrated remarkable adaptability in complex environments, making them increasingly valuable across various fields. However, effective path planning in obstacle-dense environments for large-scale jumping r...
The Ocean Sunfish () has one of the most unusual body geometries and swimming strategies of all fish species. Effectively lacking a caudal fin, these fish propel themselves by synchronized flapping of their extremely long dorsal and anal fins-a form ...
