Bioinspired Soft Microrobots with Precise Magneto-Collective Control for Microvascular Thrombolysis.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
New-era soft microrobots for biomedical applications need to mimic the essential structures and collective functions of creatures from nature. Biocompatible interfaces, intelligent functionalities, and precise locomotion control in a collective manne...

Intelligent Fault-Prediction Assisted Self-Healing for Embryonic Hardware.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
This paper proposes novel methods for making embryonic bio-inspired hardware efficient against faults through self-healing, fault prediction, and fault-prediction assisted self-healing. The proposed self-healing recovers a faulty embryonic cell throu...

Dynamic performances of a bird-like flapping wing robot under randomly uncertain disturbances.

PloS one
The nonlinear dynamics of a bird-like flapping wing robot under randomly uncertain disturbances was studied in this study. The bird-like flapping wing robot was first simplified into a two-rod model with a spring connection. Then, the dynamic model o...

Fabrication of Carbon-Based Ionic Electromechanically Active Soft Actuators.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Ionic electromechanically active capacitive laminates are a type of smart material that move in response to electrical stimulation. Due to the soft, compliant and biomimetic nature of this deformation, actuators made of the laminate have received inc...

Electronic skins and machine learning for intelligent soft robots.

Science robotics
Soft robots have garnered interest for real-world applications because of their intrinsic safety embedded at the material level. These robots use deformable materials capable of shape and behavioral changes and allow conformable physical contact for ...

Bioinspired pursuit with a swimming robot using feedback control of an internal rotor.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Theoretical guarantees of capture become complicated in the case of a swimming fish or fish robot because of the oscillatory nature of the fish heading. Building on the connection between a swimming fish and the canonical Chaplygin sleigh, a novel st...

Laser-Induced Graphene for Electrothermally Controlled, Mechanically Guided, 3D Assembly and Human-Soft Actuators Interaction.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Mechanically guided, 3D assembly has attracted broad interests, owing to its compatibility with planar fabrication techniques and applicability to a diversity of geometries and length scales. Its further development requires the capability of on-dema...

CFD-based multi-objective controller optimization for soft robotic fish with muscle-like actuation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft robots take advantage of rich nonlinear dynamics and large degrees of freedom to perform actions often by novel means beyond the capability of conventional rigid robots. Nevertheless, there are considerable challenges in analysis, design, and op...

Bioinspired Soft Robot with Incorporated Microelectrodes.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Bioinspired soft robotic systems that mimic living organisms using engineered muscle tissue and biomaterials are revolutionizing the current biorobotics paradigm, especially in biomedical research. Recreating artificial life-like actuation dynamics i...

Advantages of aquatic animals as models for bio-inspired drones over present AUV technology.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robotic systems are becoming more ubiquitous, whether on land, in the air, or in water. In the aquatic realm, aquatic drones including ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) and AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) have opened new opportunities to invest...
