This study describes a novel adaptive free-will arbitrary time sliding mode controller (AFWATSMC) designed to improve the performance of a three-phase rectifier in an autonomous oil palm grabber vehicle (Robot Autonomous Mechanical Buffalo Grabber (M...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
