Reentrant feature widely exists in natural structures ranging from mushroom, overhang,
undercut, trapezoid, sphere, spatula and taper to sharp edge, and has triggered a …

The attachment phenomena of various hierarchical architectures found in nature have
extensively drawn attention for developing highly biocompatible adhesive on skin or wet …

The octopus couples controllable adhesives with intricately embedded sensing, processing,
and control to manipulate underwater objects. Current synthetic adhesive–based …

Octopuses can employ their tapered arms to catch prey of all shapes and sizes due to their
dexterity, flexibility, and gripping power. Intrigued by variability in arm taper angle between …

We introduce a vacuum-powered soft pneumatic actuator (V-SPA) that leverages a single,
shared vacuum power supply and enables complex soft robotic systems with multiple …

In nature, many organisms are able to accommodate a complex living environment by
developing biological wet adhesive surfaces with unique functions such as fixation and …

Octopuses have impressive manipulation capabilities empowered by the intrinsic adaptation
of their soft arms combined with distributed suckers. Drawing inspiration from the arm …

Adhesion capabilities of various skin architectures found in nature can generate remarkable
physical interactions with their engaged surfaces. Among them, octopus suckers have …

Adhesion is difficult to achieve on rough surfaces both in air and underwater. In nature, the
northern clingfish (Gobiesox maeandricus) has evolved the impressive ability to adhere onto …

The octopus has unique capacities are sources of inspiration in developing soft robotic‐
enabling technologies. Herein, soft, sensorized, suction cups inspired by the suckers of …
