Implicit coordination for 3D underwater collective behaviors in a fish-inspired robot swarm.

Science robotics
Many fish species gather by the thousands and swim in harmony with seemingly no effort. Large schools display a range of impressive collective behaviors, from simple shoaling to collective migration and from basic predator evasion to dynamic maneuver...

In the soft grip of nature.

Science robotics
Biological grippers can inspire the development of a new class of versatile soft grippers in agrorobotics and beyond.

Heterogeneous sensing in a multifunctional soft sensor for human-robot interfaces.

Science robotics
Soft sensors have been playing a crucial role in detecting different types of physical stimuli to part or the entire body of a robot, analogous to mechanoreceptors or proprioceptors in biology. Most of the currently available soft sensors with compac...

Image edge detection with a photonic spiking VCSEL-neuron.

Optics express
We report both experimentally and in theory on the detection of edge features in digital images with an artificial optical spiking neuron based on a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The latter delivers fast (< 100 ps) neuron-like optic...

Mobile robotic platforms for the acoustic tracking of deep-sea demersal fishery resources.

Science robotics
Knowing the displacement capacity and mobility patterns of industrially exploited (i.e., fished) marine resources is key to establishing effective conservation management strategies in human-impacted marine ecosystems. Acquiring accurate behavioral i...

Wearable on-device deep learning system for hand gesture recognition based on FPGA accelerator.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
Gesture recognition is critical in the field of Human-Computer Interaction, especially in healthcare, rehabilitation, sign language translation, etc. Conventionally, the gesture recognition data collected by the inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor...

An agglutinate magnetic spray transforms inanimate objects into millirobots for biomedical applications.

Science robotics
Millirobots that can adapt to unstructured environments, operate in confined spaces, and interact with a diverse range of objects would be desirable for exploration and biomedical applications. The continued development of millirobots, however, requi...

3D computational cannula fluorescence microscopy enabled by artificial neural networks.

Optics express
Computational cannula microscopy (CCM) is a high-resolution widefield fluorescence imaging approach deep inside tissue, which is minimally invasive. Rather than using conventional lenses, a surgical cannula acts as a lightpipe for both excitation and...

Good vibrations for flapping-wing flyers.

Science robotics
Studies of insect flight reveal how flapping-induced vibrations augment flight stability of tailless flapping-wing flyers.

Robotics in flexible endoscopy: current status and future prospects.

Current opinion in gastroenterology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Advanced endoscopy procedures are technically challenging and require extensive training. Recent technological advances made in computer science and robotics have the potential to enhance the performance of complex intraluminal and...
