Spectral mode representations play an essential role in various areas of physics, from quantum mechanics to fluid turbulence, but they are not yet extensively used to characterize and describe the behavioral dynamics of living systems. Here, we show ...
Modularity is a desirable property for embodied agents, as it could foster their suitability to different domains by disassembling them into transferable modules that can be reassembled differently. We focus on a class of embodied agents known as vox...
BACKGROUND: Gait rehabilitation using a footpad-type locomotion interface has been reported as effective in improving gait ability in chronic stroke patients. However, the effect on subacute stroke patients is unknown.

We describe the locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) using nonlinear dynamics. C. elegans is a commonly studied model organism based on ease of maintenance and simple neurological structure. In contrast to traditional microscopic techniq...
We propose the use of bio-inspired robotics equipped with soft sensor technologies to gain a better understanding of the mechanics and control of animal movement. Soft robotic systems can be used to generate new hypotheses and uncover fundamental pri...
Learning from the locomotion of natural organisms is one of the most effective strategies for designing microrobots. However, the development of bioinspired microrobots is still challenging because of technical bottlenecks such as design and seamless...
Tunable, soft, and multifunctional robots are contributing to developments in medical and rehabilitative robotics, human-machine interaction, and intelligent home technology. A key aspect of soft robot fabrication is the ability to use flexible and e...
