Soft and stretchable sensors are essential to the development of electronic skin, especially their potential applications in health care and intelligent robots, which have increasingly attracted attentions. Herein, inspired by the epidermal tissue hi...
Soft grippers have exhibited considerable advantages owing to their flexible deformation, compliant operation, and safe interaction with objects. The ability to grip solid and liquid objects can greatly expand the application range of the soft grippe...
This editorial summarizes the emergence of bionic technology in the form of exoskeletons and how these wearable robotics are and could be applied in the nursing profession to improve the occupational health of nurses and deliver patient care. The ben...
Beyond their colorful appearances and versatile geometries, flowers can self-shape-morph by adapting to environmental changes. Nature-inspired artificial systems that mimic their natural counterparts in function, flexibility, and adaptation find an e...
Due to their high flexibility and adaptability, bionic robots have great potential in applications such as healthcare, rescue, and surveillance. The flexible actuator is an essential component of the bionic robot and determines its performance. Even ...
Artificial muscles have unique advantages for driving bionic robots because their driving mode is similar to biological muscles. However, there is still a big gap between the existing artificial muscle and biological muscle in performance. The twiste...
This paper presents a collaborative obstacle avoidance algorithm of multiple bionic snake robots in fluid based on IB-LBM. The method can make the multiple bionic snake robots avoid different obstacles in the fluid under the control of the improved S...
