Design and implementation of an independent-drive bionic dragonfly robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

Inspired by the growth behavior of plants: biomimetic soft robots that just meet the requirements of use.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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 Robot with Tensegrity Feature Bionic Knee Joint.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
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...

Design and mechanical analysis of a novel modular bionic earthworm robot with upright functionality.

Scientific reports
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...

Merging motoneuron and postural synergies in prosthetic hand design for natural bionic interfacing.

Science robotics
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 and ethanol detection via an electronic nose utilizing a bionic chamber and a sparrow search algorithm-optimized backpropagation neural network.

PloS one
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...

A Bio-Inspired Magnetic Soft Robotic Fish for Efficient Solar-Energy Driven Water Purification.

Small methods
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...

Extracorporeal Closed-Loop Respiratory Regulation for Patients With Respiratory Difficulty Using a Soft Bionic Robot.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Respiratory regulation is critical for patients with respiratory dysfunction. Clinically used ventilators can lead to long-term dependence and injury. Extracorporeal assistance approaches such as iron-lung devices provide a noninvasive alt...

Zero-Biased Bionic Fingertip E-Skin with Multimodal Tactile Perception and Artificial Intelligence for Augmented Touch Awareness.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Electronic skins (E-Skins) are crucial for future robotics and wearable devices to interact with and perceive the real world. Prior research faces challenges in achieving comprehensive tactile perception and versatile functionality while keeping syst...

Adaptative machine vision with microsecond-level accurate perception beyond human retina.

Nature communications
Visual adaptive devices have potential to simplify circuits and algorithms in machine vision systems to adapt and perceive images with varying brightness levels, which is however limited by sluggish adaptation process. Here, the avalanche tuning as f...
