Research on a terrain-blind walking control that can walk stably on unknown and uneven terrain is an important research field for humanoid robots to achieve human-level walking abilities, and it is still a field that needs much improvement. This pape...
Inchworms have been one of the most widely used bionic templates for designing soft robotic devices. Bioresearch has shown that muscles of inchworms exhibit nonlinear hysteresis and their body structures are with hydrostatic skeleton. But effects of ...
Quadrupeds achieve rapid and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts such as their trunk, head, and tail, i.e. body-limb coordination. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism underlying ...
Repetitive and intensive exercises during robot-aided rehabilitation may expose patients to inappropriate and unsafe postures. The introduction of a sensory feedback can help the subject to perform the rehabilitation task with an ergonomic posture. I...

The integration of muscle cells with soft robotics in recent years has led to the development of biohybrid machines capable of untethered locomotion. A major frontier that currently remains unexplored is neuronal actuation and control of such muscle-...
Beetle Allomyrina dichotoma is one of the largest insects that performs many remarkable modes of locomotion, particularly hovering flight capability. In order to stay airborne, its flexible hindwings are flapped so as to work as a thrust generator. H...
Inspired by the physiological structure of the hand capable of realizing the continuous change in finger stiffness when grasping objects of different masses, a self-locking soft continuum robot with a large variable-stiffness range based on particle ...
