Rationally designed architected materials have attained previously untapped territories in
materials property space. The properties and behaviours of architected materials need not …

Soft robots' flexibility and compliance give them the potential to outperform traditional rigid-
bodied robots while performing multiple tasks in unexpectedly changing environments and …

Octopuses can whip their soft arms with a characteristic “bend propagation” motion to
capture prey with sensitive suckers. This relatively simple strategy provides models for …

Origami traces its origins to an ancient art form transforming flat thin surfaces into various
complex, fabulous 3D objects. Nowadays, such transformation transcends art by offering a …

In the field of robotics, soft robots have been showing great potential in the areas of medical

Soft manipulator is a kind of special manipulator that uses soft material or flexible structure to
perform manipulation task under the specific drive mode inspired by the soft tissue. It is …

Soft continuum robots have been accepted as a promising category of biomedical robots,
accredited to the robots' inherent compliance that makes them safely interact with their …

We present in-hand manipulation skills on a dexterous, compliant, anthropomorphic hand.
Even though these skills were derived in a simplistic manner, they exhibit surprising …

Compared with traditional underwater vehicles, bio-inspired fish robots have the advantages
of high efficiency, high maneuverability, low noise, and minor fluid disturbance. Therefore …
