AquaClimber: a limbed swimming and climbing robot based on reduced order models.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many legged robots have taken insight from animals to run, jump, and climb. Very few, however, have extended the flexibility of limbs to the task of swimming. In this paper, we address the study of multi-modal limbed locomotion by extending our later...

A Bioinspired Fluid-Filled Soft Linear Actuator.

Soft robotics
In bioinspired soft robotics, very few studies have focused on fluidic transmissions and there is an urgent need for translating fluidic concepts into realizable fluidic components to be applied in different fields. Nature has often offered an inspir...

Design and kinematics of a tube-shaped multidirectional bending robotic device using slackened SMA wires for transurethral ureterolithotripsy.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The complex and elaborate structure of the urinary system presents surgeons with difficulty in using a ureteroscope with a fixed optical fiber to reach the targeted calculus. To address this challenge, a robotic device is required to control...

A multi-module soft robotic arm with soft actuator for minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Compared to traditional rigid robotic arms, soft robotic arms are flexible, environmentally adaptable and biocompatible. Recently, most minimally invasive cardiac procedures still rely on traditional rigid surgical tools. However, rigid t...

A bioinspired fishbone continuum robot with rigid-flexible-soft coupling structure.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

SRAM-Based CIM Architecture Design for Event Detection.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

A Design Method of Two-Dimensional Subwavelength Grating Filter Based on Deep Learning Series Feedback Neural Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Multi-environment robotic transitions through adaptive morphogenesis.

Nature
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' Dynamic Posture Perception Using Kirigami-Inspired Flexible Sensors with Porous Structures and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...
