This study presents a comprehensive analysis of soft finger actuators using finite element modeling to assess their performance in various structural configurations. By conducting detailed numerical simulations, we explore how variations in structura...
The piezoresistive effect serves as a key mechanical sensing mechanism extensively utilized across diverse sensing applications. Piezoresistive stress-strain sensors stand out due to their straightforward design, high sensitivity, low energy requirem...
Salps are underwater invertebrates considered to be among the world's most energy-efficient examples of jet propulsion. They can swim as solitary individuals or as physically connected colonies, coordinating their jets to produce collective movement....
Vision is a critical sensory function for humans, animals, and engineered systems, enabling environmental perception essential for imaging and autonomous operation. Although bioinspired, tunable optical systems have advanced adaptability and performa...
DNA origami nanorobots allow for the rational design of nanomachines that respond to environmental stimuli with preprogrammed tasks. To date, this mostly is achieved by constructing two-state switches that, upon activation, change their conformation,...
A versatile, robotic, and multi-functional wide-span farming platform, commonly known as a gantry tractor, can reduce soil compaction and enhance field production efficiency. In order to meet the functional requirements of wide-span farming platforms...
Advancements in artificial intelligence have broadened the capabilities of robots, particularly in caregiving applications that are essential for aging societies facing a growing shortage of human caregivers. Humanoid caregiving robots require sophis...
The study of stabilisation performance is a crucial consideration in the design of offshore floating platforms. For large floating structures, incorporating passive anti-roll tanks is a common technique for roll reduction. To investigate the feasibil...
Sea turtle hatchlings display maneuvering capabilities across diverse aquatic and coastal terrains. While turning behavior is crucial in aquatic environments, it is equally vital for terrestrial locomotion by hatchlings that must quickly navigate obs...
