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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
