Quasi optimal sagittal gait of a biped robot with a new structure of knee joint [PDF]
, 2013 The design of humanoid robots has been a tricky challenge for several years. Due to the kinematic complexity of human joints, their movements are notoriously difficult to be reproduced by a mechanism. The human knees allow movements including rolling and

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with
