Self-Adaptive Perception of Object's Deformability with Multiple Deformation Attributes Utilizing Biomimetic Mechanoreceptors.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
The perception of object's deformability in unstructured interactions relies on both kinesthetic and cutaneous cues to adapt the uncertainties of an object. However, the existing tactile sensors cannot provide adequate cutaneous cues to self-adaptive...

Octopus-Inspired Muscular Hydrostats Powered By Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles.

Soft robotics
Traditional robots are characterized by rigid structures, which restrict their range of motion and their application in environments where complex movements and safe human-robot interactions are required. Soft robots inspired by nature and characteri...

Simultaneous Sensing and Actuating Capabilities of a Triple-Layer Biomimetic Muscle for Soft Robotics.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This work presents the fabrication and characterization of a triple-layered biomimetic muscle constituted by polypyrrole (PPy)-dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS)/adhesive tape/PPy-DBS demonstrating simultaneous sensing and actuation capabilities. The musc...

Ultrasensitive and robust mechanoluminescent living composites.

Science advances
Mechanosensing, the transduction of extracellular mechanical stimuli into intracellular biochemical signals, is a fundamental property of living cells. However, endowing synthetic materials with mechanosensing capabilities comparable to biological le...

Deep-Learning Enabled Active Biomimetic Multifunctional Hydrogel Electronic Skin.

ACS nano
There is huge demand for recreating human skin with the functions of epidermis and dermis for interactions with the physical world. Herein, a biomimetic, ultrasensitive, and multifunctional hydrogel-based electronic skin (BHES) was proposed. Its epid...

Pacific lamprey inspired climbing.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Snakes and their bio-inspired robot counterparts have demonstrated locomotion on a wide range of terrains. However, dynamic vertical climbing is one locomotion strategy that has received little attention in the existing snake robotics literature. We ...

Social competence improves the performance of biomimetic robots leading live fish.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Collective motion is commonly modeled with static interaction rules between agents. Substantial empirical evidence indicates, however, that animals may adapt their interaction rules depending on a variety of factors and social contexts. Here, we hypo...

Proactivity of fish and leadership of self-propelled robotic fish during interaction.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Fish interacting with biomimetic robotic fish is beneficial for animal behavior research, particularly in the study of collective behavior. Compared with passive-dragging robotic fish, self-propelled robotic fish floats in water, and its movement mat...

Underwater legged robotics: review and perspectives.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nowadays, there is a growing awareness on the social and economic importance of the ocean. In this context, being able to carry out a diverse range of operations underwater is of paramount importance for many industrial sectors as well as for marine ...

Biomimetic Approaches for Human Arm Motion Generation: Literature Review and Future Directions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted to analyze how humans subconsciously optimize various performance criteria while performing a particular task, which has led to the development of robots that are capable of performing tasks with ...
