Underwater bionic undulating fins incorporating thickness effects: hydrodynamic performance and optimal thickness variation rate analysis.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In response to the urgent issues faced by current bionic undulating fin robot propulsion mechanisms, such as low working efficiency, insufficient swimming speed, ignoring thickness parameters, and the need for further improvement in biomimetic degree...

Investigating the effect of morphology on the terrestrial gaits of amphibious fish using a reconfigurable robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The relationship between morphology and locomotion performance in amphibious fish remains poorly understood, particularly in axial-appendage-based and appendage-based movements. To address this, we introduce Polymander, a reconfigurable robot capable...

Airbag-like Comb Flexible Pressure Sensor and Its Wearable Applications.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Flexible wearable devices demonstrate immense potential in healthcare and human-computer interaction, yet the development of high-performance flexible pressure sensors for these applications remains a pressing technical challenge. Inspired by the str...

Design and Control of a High-Dynamic Modular Reconfigurable Legged Robotic System.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Legged robots possess exceptional terrain adaptability, making them an ideal platform for outdoor exploration and cargo transport across complex terrains. The number and configuration of legs play a crucial role in their performance; however, most cu...

Advanced droplet microfluidic platform for high-throughput screening of industrial fungi.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Industrial fungi are pivotal candidates for the production of a diverse array of bioproducts. To enhance their productivity, these strains are frequently subjected to genetic modifications. Following transformation, the selection of optimal productio...

Flexible hybrid self-powered piezo-triboelectric nanogenerator based on BTO-PVDF/PDMS nanocomposites for human machine interaction.

Scientific reports
As flexible and wearable electronics play more and more important role in smart watches, smart glass and virtual reality, and the power supply to the wearable electronics have been revealed more attentions for long-term usage and continuous healthy m...

Amphibious robotic dog: design, paddling gait planning, and experimental characterization.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Mammal-inspired quadruped robots excel in traversing diverse terrestrial terrains but often lack aquatic mobility, limiting their effectiveness in amphibious environments. To address this challenge, an amphibious robotic dog (ARD) was developed, inte...

Development and Validation of the Novel Exergame-Integrated Robotic Stepper Device for Seated Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Seated rehabilitation is essential in early-stage recovery for patients who can sit but cannot stand or walk. Robotic-based lower limb rehabilitation provides precise, task-specific training for recovery, but its application in seated exercises remai...

Deep learning-assisted 10-μL single droplet-based viscometry for human aqueous humor.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Probing the viscosity of human aqueous humor is crucial for optimizing micro-tube shunts in glaucoma treatment. However, conventional viscometers are not suitable for aqueous humor due to the limited sample volume-only tens of microliters-that can be...

Reverse engineering the control law for schooling in zebrafish using virtual reality.

Science robotics
Revealing the evolved mechanisms that give rise to collective behavior is a central objective in the study of cellular and organismal systems. In addition, understanding the algorithmic basis of social interactions in a causal and quantitative way of...
