Rigid-flexible-soft coupled robots are an important development direction of robotics, which face many theoretical and technical challenges in their design, manufacture, and modeling. Inspired by fishbones, we propose a novel cable-driven single-back...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) play a key role in deep learning applications. However, the high computational complexity and high-energy consumption of CNNs trammel their application in hardware accelerators. Computing-in-memory (CIM) is the te...
Subwavelength grating structure has excellent filtering characteristics, and its traditional design method needs a lot of computational costs. This work proposed a design method of two-dimensional subwavelength grating filter based on a series feedba...
The current proliferation of mobile robots spans ecological monitoring, warehouse management and extreme environment exploration, to an individual consumer's home. This expanding frontier of applications requires robots to transit multiple environmen...
Soft robots can create complicated structures and functions for rehabilitation. The posture perception of soft actuators is critical for performing closed-loop control for a precise location. It is essential to have a sensor with both soft and flexib...
Laparoscopic surgery is widely used for treating intra-abdominal conditions involving the gallbladder, pancreas, liver, intestines and reproductive organs. Conventional laparoscopy instruments used in manual surgeries usually have straight shafts and...
