PURPOSE: This paper introduces the stiffness-tunable soft actuator (STSA), a novel device that combines a silicone body with a thermoplastic resin structure (TPRS). The STSA's design allows for the variable stiffness of soft robots, significantly inc...
Fish interacting with biomimetic robotic fish is beneficial for animal behavior research, particularly in the study of collective behavior. Compared with passive-dragging robotic fish, self-propelled robotic fish floats in water, and its movement mat...

BACKGROUND: Suturing and knotting in Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) requires the robot not only to be able to work with multiple manipulators but also to have a high degree of dexterity. However, little attention has been pai...
INTRODUCTION: MRI of excised hearts at ultra-high field strengths ([Formula: see text]≥7 T) can provide high-resolution, high-fidelity ground truth data for biomedical studies, imaging science, and artificial intelligence. In this study, we demonstra...
In recent years, master-slave vascular robots have been developed to address the problem of radiation exposure during vascular interventions for surgeons. However, the single visual feedback reduces surgeon immersion and transparency of the system. I...
Biomimetic and bioinspired design is not only a potent resource for roboticists looking to develop robust engineering systems or understand the natural world. It is also a uniquely accessible entry point into science and technology. Every person on E...
Robot grippers that lack physical compliance have a difficult time dealing with uncertainty, such as fragile objects that may not have well-defined shapes. Existing soft robotic grippers require a large empty workspace for their actuated fingers to c...
