Design of large-span stick-slip freely switchable hydrogels via dynamic multiscale contact synergy.

Nature communications
Solid matter that can rapidly and reversibly switch between adhesive and non-adhesive states is desired in many technological domains including climbing robotics, actuators, wound dressings, and bioelectronics due to the ability for on-demand attachm...

Bio-inspired flapping wing robots with foldable or deformable wings: a review.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Traditional flapping-wing robots (FWRs) obtain lift and thrust by relying on the passive deformation of their wings which cannot actively fold or deform. In contrast, flying creatures such as birds, bats, and insects can maneuver agilely through acti...

The Ethics of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs. An Enactivist Approach.

Science and engineering ethics
Supernumerary robotic limbs are innovative devices in the field of wearable robotics which can provide humans with unprecedented sensorimotor abilities. However, scholars have raised awareness of the ethical issues that would arise from the large ado...

Design exploration and comparative analysis of tail shape of tri-wheel-based stair-climbing robotic platform.

Scientific reports
Stair climbing is one of the most important capabilities of mobile robots. Therefore, stair-climbing mobile robots have become a field of study and diverse stair-climbing mobile robots have been developed. Although tri-wheel-based stair-climbing robo...

Photo-responsive liquid crystal network-based material with adaptive modulus for haptic application.

Scientific reports
Artificially created tactile feedback is in high demand due to fast developments in robotics, remote control in medicine, virtual reality, and smart electronics. Despite significant progress, high-quality haptic feedback devices remain challenging ma...

Co-optimization of robotic design and skill inspired by human hand evolution.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
During evolution of the human hand, evolutionary morphology has been closely related to behavior in complicated environments. Numerous researchers have revealed that learned skills have affected hand evolution. Inspired by this phenomenon, a co-optim...

Robot-assisted duodenal switch with DaVinci Xi: surgical technique and analysis of a single-institution experience of 661 cases.

Journal of robotic surgery
Metabolic and bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for the management of obesity and related comorbidities. Although the duodenal switch has demonstrated superior results in terms of resolution of obesity-related comorbidities and weight loss,...
