The human hand is often viewed as the pinnacle of dexterity, and many robotic hands adopt anthropomorphic designs, while others pursue non-anthropomorphic forms for structural balance or task optimization. However, human-like asymmetry and reliance o...
Droplet robotics is an emerging area of research focused on harnessing externally programmable physical fields to drive liquid droplet motion and automate complex fluidic operations. One approach for driving droplet robotic systems utilizes magnetic ...
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...
Modern bio-inspired robotic fish design increasingly focuses on integrating biological inspiration with engineering-oriented structural solutions to enhance locomotion performance and meet practical application demands. Among these, the crank-linkage...
