Dealing with grasping tasks in unstructured environments, existing soft grippers often exhibit a lack of static stability, while rigid-soft hybrid grippers display limited compliance due to the fixed connections at the joints. To address the challeng...
Empowering intelligent robots with cognitive abilities that rival or even surpass those of humans is the key to enabling more complex and sophisticated interactions. Currently, most electronic skins (e-skins) perform excellently in distinguishing sha...
Multimodal phototheranostics utilizing single molecules offer a "one-and-done" approach, presenting a convenient and effective strategy for cancer therapy. However, therapies based on conventional photosensitizers often suffer from limitations such a...
Bionic flapping wing robots achieve flight by imitating animal flapping wings, which are safe, flexible, and efficient. Their practicality and human-machine symbiosis in narrow and complex environments are better than traditional fixed-wing or multir...
Soft robots are usually manufactured using the pouring method and can only be configured with a fixed execution area, which often faces the problem of insufficient or wasteful performance in real-world applications, and cannot be reused for other tas...

Legged robots, designed to emulate human functions, have greatly influenced numerous sectors. However, the focus on continuously improving the joint motors and control systems of existing legged robots not only increases costs and complicates mainten...
With the escalating demand for exploration within confined spaces, bionic design methodologies have attracted considerable attention from researchers, primarily due to the intrinsic limitations of human access to hazardous environments. However, cont...
Despite the advances in bionic reconstruction of missing limbs, the control of robotic limbs is still limited and, in most cases, not felt to be as natural by users. In this study, we introduce a control approach that combines robotic design based on...
Ammonia is widely acknowledged to be a stressor and one of the most detrimental gases in animal enclosures. In livestock- and poultry-breeding facilities, a precise, rapid, and affordable method for detecting ammonia concentrations is essential. We d...
Solar-driven water evaporation is a promising solution for global water scarcity but is still facing challenges due to its substantial energy requirements. Here, a magnetic soft robotic bionic fish is developed by combining magnetic nanoparticles (Fe...
