Biomorphic structural batteries for robotics.

Science robotics
Batteries with conformal shape and multiple functionalities could provide new degrees of freedom in the design of robotic devices. For example, the ability to provide both load bearing and energy storage can increase the payload and extend the operat...

An 88-milligram insect-scale autonomous crawling robot driven by a catalytic artificial muscle.

Science robotics
The creation of autonomous subgram microrobots capable of complex behaviors remains a grand challenge in robotics largely due to the lack of microactuators with high work densities and capable of using power sources with specific energies comparable ...

Ionic spiderwebs.

Science robotics
Spiders use adhesive, stretchable, and translucent webs to capture their prey. However, sustaining the capturing capability of these webs can be challenging because the webs inevitably invite contamination, thus reducing its adhesion force. To overco...

[Design and performance analysis of elastic temporomandibular joint structure of biomimetic masticatory robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Masticatory robots have a broad application prospect in the field of denture material tests and mandible rehabilitation. Mechanism type of temporomandibular joint structure is an important factor influencing the performance of the masticatory robot. ...

Biohybrid robotics with living cell actuation.

Chemical Society reviews
As simulators of organisms in Nature, soft robots have been developed over the past few decades. In particular, biohybrid robots constructed by integrating living cells with soft materials demonstrate the unique advantage of simulating the constructi...

Elucidating the interaction dynamics between microswimmer body and immune system for medical microrobots.

Science robotics
The structural design parameters of a medical microrobot, such as the morphology and surface chemistry, should aim to minimize any physical interactions with the cells of the immune system. However, the same surface-borne design parameters are also c...

Autonomic perspiration in 3D-printed hydrogel actuators.

Science robotics
In both biological and engineered systems, functioning at peak power output for prolonged periods of time requires thermoregulation. Here, we report a soft hydrogel-based actuator that can maintain stable body temperatures via autonomic perspiration....

A vision for future bioinspired and biohybrid robots.

Science robotics
Bioinspired and biohybrid robots can help respond to diverse, sustainable application needs.

Metal or muscle? The future of biologically inspired robots.

Science robotics
Biology has inspired the development of agile robots, and it is now teaching us how to grow machines from living cells.

Taxonomy of Two Dimensional Bio-Inspired Locomotion Systems.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper introduces a new approach to characterize the locomotion of self-assembling modular systems. By establishing the necessary components for a locomotive modules and a hierarchy of locomotive systems, further research can be done into each ca...
