A human stomach is an organ in the digestive system that breaks down foods by physiological digestion, including mechanical and chemical functions. The mechanical function is controlled by peristaltic waves generated over the stomach body, known as a...
Compared to traditional rigid-bodied robots, soft robots are constructed using physically flexible/elastic bodies and electronics to mimic nature and enable novel applications in industry, healthcare, aviation, military, Recently, the fabrication of...
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...
The ability of an individual to predict the outcome of the actions of others and to change their own behavior adaptively is called anticipation. There are many examples from mammalian species-including humans-that show anticipatory abilities in a soc...
The number of published scientific articles is increasing dramatically and makes it difficult to keep track of research topics. This is particularly difficult in interdisciplinary research areas where different communities from different disciplines ...
The current proliferation of mobile robots spans ecological monitoring, warehouse management and extreme environment exploration, to an individual consumer's home. This expanding frontier of applications requires robots to transit multiple environmen...

In this article, the underwater target tracking control problem of a biomimetic underwater vehicle (BUV) is addressed. Since it is difficult to build an effective mathematic model of a BUV due to the uncertainty of hydrodynamics, target tracking cont...
Soft robots, made from elastomers, easily bend and flex, but deformability constraints severely limit navigation through and within narrow, confined spaces. Using aqueous two-phase systems we print water-in-water constructs that, by aqueous phase-sep...
Biomimetic machines able to integrate with natural and social environments will find ubiquitous applications, from biodiversity conservation to elderly daily care. Although artificial actuators have reached the contraction performances of muscles, th...
