Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Accelerating Musculoskeletal Robotics Through Parametric Design and 3D‐Printed Flexible Structures
Parametric design and flexible 3D printing create muscle‐, tendon‐, ligament‐, and cushion‐like robotic elements from a single thermoplastic polyurethane material. Tuning lattice patterns adjusts regional mechanical properties and enables coordinated multijoint motions in a life‐sized musculoskeletal leg under external suspension, with partial body ...
