A reconfigurable exoskeleton bionic rigid-soft combination gripper.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

Shared human-machine control of an intelligent bionic hand improves grasping and decreases cognitive burden for transradial amputees.

Nature communications
Bionic hands can replicate many movements of the human hand, but our ability to intuitively control these bionic hands is limited. Humans' manual dexterity is partly due to control loops driven by sensory feedback. Here, we describe the integration o...

The Omnia bionic leg with a semipowered knee and ankle wins the Cybathlon 2024 leg prosthesis race.

Science robotics
Rehab Tech's Omnia prosthesis excelled at Cybathlon, showcasing advanced lower-limb prostheses and user-centered innovation.

Design and realization of a low-drive bionic frog robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents the design and fabrication of a compact underdriven bionic frog robot, which is inspired by the locomotion stance of a frog. The robot's hind legs were ingeniously built using an underdriven associative 8-bar linkage mechanism wit...

Seeker-M: A bionic mantis shrimp robot with an adjustable-mass flexible spine.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To enhance the motion flexibility and environmental adaptability of underwater robots, this study proposes a novel design, Seeker-M, inspired by the locomotion mechanism of the mantis shrimp. The robot imitates the mantis shrimp's multi-pleopod swimm...

Slip-actuated bionic tactile sensing system with dynamic DC generator integrated E-textile for dexterous robotic manipulation.

Nature communications
Dexterous manipulation in robotics requires coordinated sensing, signal processing, and actuation for real-time, precise object control. Despite advances, the current artificial tactile sensory system lacks the proficiency of the human sensory system...

Bionic Pneumatic-Driven Actuator for Underwater Sensing and Motion Control.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Biological organisms exhibit remarkable capabilities to dynamically adjust their physiological states through autonomous neural perception and adaptive locomotion, offering profound inspiration for the development of intelligent bionic systems. Parti...

Comparative analysis of attentional mechanisms in rice pest identification.

Scientific reports
Accurate detection of rice pests helps farmers take timely control measures. This study compares different attention mechanisms for rice pest detection in complex backgrounds and demonstrates that a human vision-inspired Bionic Attention (BA) mechani...

Underwater bionic undulating fins incorporating thickness effects: hydrodynamic performance and optimal thickness variation rate analysis.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In response to the urgent issues faced by current bionic undulating fin robot propulsion mechanisms, such as low working efficiency, insufficient swimming speed, ignoring thickness parameters, and the need for further improvement in biomimetic degree...

Neural Network Circuits for Bionic Associative Memory and Temporal Order Memory Based on DNA Strand Displacement.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Pavlovian associative memory plays an important role in our daily life and work. The realization of Pavlovian associative memory at the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecular level will promote the development of biological computing and broaden the a...
