Arthropod‐Inspired Miniature Modular Vibration Direct‐Drive Robot With Untethered Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an arthropod‐inspired untethered miniature modular vibration direct‐drive robot. By utilizing standardized driving units and nested locking interfaces, on‐demand reconfiguration into quadruped, hexapod, octopod, and circular morphologies is achieved.

Bio‐Inspired Internal Stress Engineering for Microscale Surface Cracking in Sensitive Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a bio‐inspired internal stress engineering strategy to fabricate highly sensitive crack‐based strain sensors. By harnessing the internal expansion energy of microspheres and the thickness‐dependent brittle‐to‐ductile transition of ultrathin gold films, tunable microscale cracks are generated.

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Heterogeneous Architectures for Ultrasensitive and Robust Strain Sensors via Programmable Crack Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the insect campaniform sensillum, a heterogeneous bilayer strain sensor is developed based on a unique impedance mismatch and three‐dimensional structural dynamic percolation strategy. The sensor enables real‐time multi‐joint teleoperation of three joints and the gripper using a six‐degree‐of‐freedom robotic‐arm platform.
