Stick insects exhibit remarkable adaptive walking capabilities across diverse environments; however, the mechanisms underlying their gait transitions remain poorly understood. Although reinforcement learning (RL) has been employed to generate insect-...
In response to the urgent issues faced by current bionic undulating fin robot propulsion mechanisms, such as low working efficiency, insufficient swimming speed, ignoring thickness parameters, and the need for further improvement in biomimetic degree...
Despite substantial advances in engineering, robotics, and artificial intelligence, autonomous robots have yet to revolutionize neurosurgery. In this perspective, we examine why neurosurgical robotics lag behind, analyzing economic, regulatory, liabi...
The accurate modeling of dynamic systems, particularly robotic ones, is crucial in the industry. It enables simulation-based approaches that facilitate various tasks without requiring the physical system, thereby reducing risks and costs. These appro...

Microalgae robots are an emerging biohybrid microrobot that combines the biological properties of microalgae with microrobot technology and shows a wide range of applications in the medical field. In recent years, it has been found that microalgae ar...
Biohybrid microrobots, based on swimming microalgae, offer outstanding self-propulsion and functionalization capabilities, making them promising platforms for cargo loading and delivery. However, current technologies predominantly focus on in vitro n...
End-stage heart failure is a deadly disease. Current total artificial hearts (TAHs) carry high mortality and morbidity and offer low quality of life. To overcome current biocompatibility issues, we propose the concept of a soft robotic, hybrid (pumpi...
In the evolving landscape of technology, robots have emerged as social companions, prompting an investigation into social bonding between humans and robots. While human-animal interactions are well-studied, human-robot interactions (HRI) remain compa...
The relationship between morphology and locomotion performance in amphibious fish remains poorly understood, particularly in axial-appendage-based and appendage-based movements. To address this, we introduce Polymander, a reconfigurable robot capable...
