An 88-milligram insect-scale autonomous crawling robot driven by a catalytic artificial muscle.

Science robotics
The creation of autonomous subgram microrobots capable of complex behaviors remains a grand challenge in robotics largely due to the lack of microactuators with high work densities and capable of using power sources with specific energies comparable ...

Decoding Decentralized Control Mechanism Underlying Adaptive and Versatile Locomotion of Snakes.

Integrative and comparative biology
Snakes have no limbs and can move in various environments using a simple elongated limbless body structure obtained through a long-term evolutionary process. Specifically, snakes have various locomotion patterns, which they change in response to cond...

Lateral Oscillation and Body Compliance Help Snakes and Snake Robots Stably Traverse Large, Smooth Obstacles.

Integrative and comparative biology
Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Similarly, snake robots hold the promise as a versatile platform to traverse complex environments such as earthquake rubble. Unlike snake locomotion on flat surfaces which is inherently stable, when snakes ...

An untethered isoperimetric soft robot.

Science robotics
For robots to be useful for real-world applications, they must be safe around humans, be adaptable to their environment, and operate in an untethered manner. Soft robots could potentially meet these requirements; however, existing soft robotic archit...

Human Locomotion Classification for Different Terrains Using Machine Learning Techniques.

Critical reviews in biomedical engineering
Gait analysis on healthy subjects was performed based on surface electromyographic and acceleration sensor signal, implemented through machine learning approaches. The surface EMG and 3-axes acceleration signals have been acquired for 5 different ter...

Analysis and control of biped robot with variable stiffness ankle joints.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Biped robot locomotion is an active topic of research, and the walking stability is one of the research objectives.

Automatic Inference of Rat's Hindlimb Trajectory to Synchronize with Forelimb Gait Through Phase.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Synchronous forelimb-hindlimb gait pattern is important to facilitate natural walking behavior of an injured rat with total transection. Since our ultimate research goal is to build a rehabilitation robotic system to simulate the natural walking patt...

Taxonomy of Two Dimensional Bio-Inspired Locomotion Systems.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper introduces a new approach to characterize the locomotion of self-assembling modular systems. By establishing the necessary components for a locomotive modules and a hierarchy of locomotive systems, further research can be done into each ca...

Preliminary Design of an Environment Recognition System for Controlling Robotic Lower-Limb Prostheses and Exoskeletons.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Drawing inspiration from autonomous vehicles, using future environment information could improve the control of wearable biomechatronic devices for assisting human locomotion. To the authors knowledge, this research represents the first documented in...

A Robotic Platform for 3D Forelimb Rehabilitation with Rats.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In an attempt to promote greater functional recovery after spinal cord injury, researchers have begun exploring combinatorial treatments, such as robotic rehabilitation combined with stem cell transplantation. Since these treatment methods are in the...
