Miniature robots show great potential in exploring narrow and confined spaces to perform
various tasks, but many applications are limited by the dependence of these robots on …

In contrast with jumping robots made from rigid materials, soft jumpers composed of
compliant and elastically deformable materials exhibit superior impact resistance and …

Enlightened by the fast-running gait of mammals like cheetahs and wolves, we design and
fabricate a single-actuated untethered compliant robot that is capable of galloping at a …

Fully soft bistable mechanisms have shown extensive applications ranging from soft
robotics, wearable devices, and medical tools, to energy harvesting. However, the lack of …

This paper discusses the modeling and analysis of a high-speed adjustable grasping robot
controlled by a pneumatic actuator. The robot is composed of two grippers, two wires for …

The performance of the human finger is a significant inspiration for designing soft robotic
fingers that can achieve high speed and high force or perform delicate and complex tasks …

Traditional soft robots require separate sensors and actuators to precisely control their
motion. A twisted-and-coiled actuator (TCA) is a new artificial muscle with both actuation and …

Multistable structures, known for their ability to rapidly switch between multiple stable states,
are increasingly used for various robotic and mechatronic systems (eg, grippers, swimming …

The dynamic model of a bistable laminated composite shell simply supported by four
corners is further developed to investigate the resonance responses and chaotic behaviors …

The article presents the design of Complibot, a robot with a novel gripper for pipe climbing.
The mechanism of the gripper involves the use of a bistable buckled beam, which is a type …
