Ultrafast elastocapillary fans control agile maneuvering in ripple bugs and robots.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
ripple bugs use specialized middle-leg fans with a flat-ribbon architecture to navigate the surfaces of fast-moving streams. We show that the fan's directional stiffness enables fast, passive elastocapillary morphing, independent of muscle input. Th...

BlueGuppy: tunable kinematics enables maneuverability in a minimalist fish-like robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aquatic ecosystems vital to biodiversity and climate change-such as coral reefs, kelp forests, and mangrove forests-are often cluttered with natural obstacles. To navigate these complex habitats, fish have evolved relatively small body sizes and outs...

Hypersensitive pressure sensors inspired by scorpion mechanosensory mechanisms for near-body flow detection in intelligent robots.

Science advances
Sensitivity enhancement for pressure sensors over a broad linear range can improve sensing performance for a wide range of applications such as health monitoring and artificial intelligence. Here, inspired by the high-precision mechanosensory mechani...

Non-genetic neuromodulation with graphene optoelectronic actuators for disease models, stem cell maturation, and biohybrid robotics.

Nature communications
Light can serve as a tunable trigger for neurobioengineering technologies, enabling probing, control, and enhancement of brain function with unmatched spatiotemporal precision. Yet, these technologies often require genetic or structural alterations o...

Learning contact-rich whole-body manipulation with example-guided reinforcement learning.

Science robotics
Humans use diverse skills and strategies to effectively manipulate various objects, ranging from dexterous in-hand manipulation (fine motor skills) to complex whole-body manipulation (gross motor skills). The latter involves full-body engagement and ...

Embodied intelligence paradigm for human-robot communication.

Science robotics
Animals leverage their full embodiment to achieve multimodal, redundant, and subtle communication. To achieve the same for robots, they must similarly exploit their brain-body-environment interactions or their embodied intelligence. To advance this a...

Precise and dexterous robotic manipulation via human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning.

Science robotics
Robotic manipulation remains one of the most difficult challenges in robotics, with approaches ranging from classical model-based control to modern imitation learning. Although these methods have enabled substantial progress, they often require exten...

Robotic arm vs. stereotactic frame in deep brain stimulation surgery for movement disorders: a retrospective cohort study.

Acta neurochirurgica
BACKGROUND: Recently, robotic arms have been incorporated into the implantation of electrodes for deep brain stimulation (DBS).This study aimed to determine the accuracy of brain electrode placement, initial clinical efficacy, and safety profile of t...

Design and realization of a low-drive bionic frog robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents the design and fabrication of a compact underdriven bionic frog robot, which is inspired by the locomotion stance of a frog. The robot's hind legs were ingeniously built using an underdriven associative 8-bar linkage mechanism wit...

A simulated dataset for proactive robot task inference from streaming natural language dialogues.

Scientific data
This paper introduces a dataset designed to support research on proactive robots that infer human needs from natural language conversations. Unlike traditional human-robot interaction datasets focused on explicit commands, this dataset captures impli...
