A cerebellar-based solution to the nondeterministic time delay problem in robotic control.

Science robotics
The presence of computation and transmission-variable time delays within a robotic control loop is a major cause of instability, hindering safe human-robot interaction (HRI) under these circumstances. Classical control theory has been adapted to coun...

A meta-analysis on the effectiveness of anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction.

Science robotics
The application of anthropomorphic design features is widely assumed to facilitate human-robot interaction (HRI). However, a considerable number of study results point in the opposite direction. There is currently no comprehensive common ground on th...

A Bioinspired Stress-Response Strategy for High-Speed Soft Grippers.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
The stress-response strategy is one of the nature's greatest developments, enabling animals and plants to respond quickly to environmental stimuli. One example is the stress-response strategy of the Venus flytrap, which enables such a delicate plant ...

Tool changing 3D printer for rapid prototyping of advanced soft robotic elements.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In the field of soft robotics, pneumatic elements play an important role due to their sensitive and adaptive behavior. Nevertheless, the rapid prototyping of such actuators is still challenging since conventional 3D printers are not designed to fabri...

Robotic sample changers for macromolecular X-ray crystallography and biological small-angle X-ray scattering at the National Synchrotron Light Source II.

Journal of synchrotron radiation
Here we present two robotic sample changers integrated into the experimental stations for the macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamlines AMX and FMX, and the biological small-angle scattering (bioSAXS) beamline LiX. They enable fully automated una...

Fault-tolerant scheme for robotic manipulator-Nonlinear robust back-stepping control with friction compensation.

PloS one
Emerging applications of autonomous robots requiring stability and reliability cannot afford component failure to achieve operational objectives. Hence, identification and countermeasure of a fault is of utmost importance in mechatronics community. T...

A novel encountered-type master device with precise manipulation for robot-assisted microsurgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The unconstrained master devices have emerged as attractive alternatives to the existing linkage-based counterparts. However, the conventional unconstrained master device's manipulation methods have several disadvantages in efficiency and...

Paper-Based Robotics with Stackable Pneumatic Actuators.

Soft robotics
This work presents a unique approach to the design, fabrication, and characterization of paper-based origami robotic systems consisting of stackable pneumatic actuators. These paper-based actuators (PBAs) use materials with high elastic modulus-to-ma...

A Novel Biomimetic Compliant Structural Skin Based on Composite Materials for Biorobotics Applications.

Soft robotics
Biorobotics is increasingly attracting engineers worldwide, due to the high impact this field can have on the society. Biorobotics aims at imitating or taking inspiration from mechanisms and strategies evolved by animals, including their locomotion a...

Robotic Assay for Drought (RoAD): an automated phenotyping system for brassinosteroid and drought responses.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant steroid hormones involved in regulating growth, development, and stress responses. Many components of the BR pathway have previously been identified and characterized. However, BR phenotyping experiments ar...
