Underwater bionic undulating fins incorporating thickness effects: hydrodynamic performance and optimal thickness variation rate analysis.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

Where are all the neurosurgery robots?

Journal of robotic surgery
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...

Model parameterization of robotic systems through the bio-inspired optimization.

PloS one
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...

Dual-Stage Propulsion Strategy for Microalgae-Based Biohybrid Microrobots.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
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...

A soft robotic total artificial hybrid heart.

Nature communications
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...

Social bonding between humans, animals, and robots: Dogs outperform AIBOs, their robotic replicas, as social companions.

PloS one
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...

Investigating the effect of morphology on the terrestrial gaits of amphibious fish using a reconfigurable robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

Design and Control of a High-Dynamic Modular Reconfigurable Legged Robotic System.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Legged robots possess exceptional terrain adaptability, making them an ideal platform for outdoor exploration and cargo transport across complex terrains. The number and configuration of legs play a crucial role in their performance; however, most cu...

Multi-agent self-attention reinforcement learning for multi-USV hunting target.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
A reinforcement learning (RL) method based on the multi-head self-attention (MSA) mechanism is proposed to solve the challenge of multiple unmanned surface vehicles (multi-USV) hunting target at the surface. The kinematic, dynamic, and environmental ...

Reinforcement Learning-Driven Path Generation for Ankle Rehabilitation Robot Using Musculoskeletal-Informed Energy Optimization.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In rehabilitation robotics, optimizing energy consumption and high interaction forces is essential to prevent unnecessary muscle fatigue and excessive joint loading as they often cause an inefficient trajectory planning and disrupt natural movement p...
