Bleeding‐Mimetic Damage‐Detecting and Self‐Healing Modular Skin for Inflatable Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A damage‐detecting and self‐healing system inspired by the human bleeding mechanism is developed for inflatable structures, using a liquid conductive elastomeric material enclosed in a small pouch. This material, composed of uncured elastomer, its curing agent, conductive particles, and a dispersant, solidifies only after being exposed to air and ...

Fold Walker: An Origami‐Inspired Quadruped Robot for Multipattern Locomotion and Object Grasping
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents Fold Walker, an origami‐inspired quadruped robot capable of multipattern locomotion and object grasping. With each leg featuring two rotational folds, the robot can transform from a flat 2D configuration into complex 3D poses. Furthermore, its trunk and legs can be one‐shot 3D printed as a unified structure, greatly simplifying ...
