Bird-inspired reflexive morphing enables rudderless flight.

Science robotics
Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yet they fly stably rudderless in turbulence without needing discrete flaps to steer. In contrast, nearly all airplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch roll oscillations and to control yaw. The few exceptions tha...

Soft robots and soft bodies: biological insights into the structure and function of fluidic soft robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Over the last two decades, robotics engineering has witnessed rapid growth in the exploration and development of soft robots. Soft robots are made of deformable materials with mechanical properties or other features that resemble biological structure...

Crucial hurdles to achieving human-robot harmony.

Science robotics
Holistic consideration of the human and the robot is necessary to overcome hurdles in human-robot interaction.

Dynamic modelling and predictive position/force control of a plant-inspired growing robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents the development and control of a dynamic model for a plant-inspired growing robot, termed the 'vine-robot', using the Euler-Lagrangian method. The unique growth mechanism of the vine-robot enables it to navigate complex environmen...

Enhancing the performance of a resonance-based sensor network for soft robots using binary excitation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Embedded, flexible, multi-sensor sensing networks have shown the potential to provide soft robots with reliable feedback while navigating unstructured environments. Time delay associated with extracting information from these sensing networks and the...

Bioinspired cooperation in a heterogeneous robot swarm using ferrofluid artificial pheromones for uncontrolled environments.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This article presents a novel bioinspired technology for the cooperation and coordination of heterogeneous robot swarms in uncontrolled environments, utilizing an artificial pheromone composed of magnetized ferrofluids. Communication between differen...

Optimization of percutaneous intervention robotic system for skin insertion force.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Percutaneous puncture is a common interventional procedure, and its effectiveness is influenced by the insertion force of the needle. To optimize outcomes, we focus on reducing the peak force of the needle in the skin, aiming to apply this m...

Robotic feet modeled after ungulates improve locomotion on soft wet grounds.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Locomotion on soft yielding grounds is more complicated and energetically demanding than on hard ground. Wet soft ground (such as mud or snow) is a particularly difficult substance because it dissipates energy when stepping and resists extrusion of t...

Detection of carcinoembryonic antigen specificity using microwave biosensor with machine learning.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Early diagnosis and screening of tumor markers are essential for effective cancer treatment and improve the treatment efficiency and prognosis of tumor recurrence and metastasis. In this study, a split-ring resonator (SRR) circuit based on an interdi...

Wearable-Enabled Algorithms for the Estimation of Parkinson's Symptoms Evaluated in a Continuous Home Monitoring Setting Using Inertial Sensors.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Motor symptoms such as tremor and bradykinesia can develop concurrently in Parkinson's disease; thus, the ideal home monitoring system should be capable of tracking symptoms continuously despite background noise from daily activities. The goal of thi...
