Wall-climbing performance of gecko-inspired robot with soft feet and digits enhanced by gravity compensation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Gravitational forces can induce deviations in body posture from desired configurations in multi-legged arboreal robot locomotion with low leg stiffness, affecting the contact angle between the swing leg's end-effector and the climbing surface during ...

A toe-inspired rigid-flexible coupling wheel design method for improving the terrain adaptability of a sewer robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The human toe, characterized by its rigid-flexible structure comprising hard bones and flexible joints, facilitates adaptive and stable movement across varied terrains. In this paper, we utilized a motion capture system to study the adaptive adjustme...

Using Deep Learning to Predict Minimum Foot-Ground Clearance Event from Toe-Off Kinematics.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Efficient, adaptive, locomotor function is critically important for maintaining our health and independence, but falls-related injuries when walking are a significant risk factor, particularly for more vulnerable populations such as older people and ...

Pneumatic Relaxation Oscillator with Passive Components for Continuous Toes Movement.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Continuous passive motion of the toes improves blood circulation and may help ankle injuries heal faster. Soft devices are more appropriate than rigid devices to accommodate a variety of foot shapes. Most conventional pneumatic soft robots are actuat...
