A Wireless Sensor Network System with a Jumping Node for Unfriendly Environments
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2012 Mobile robots have been adopted to repair failed wireless sensor network systems for node damage, battery exhaustion, or obstacles. But most of the robots use wheeled locomotion manner, which does not work well or even fails when confronted with ...

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Design and Implementation of a Two-Wheel and Hopping Robot With a Linkage Mechanism
IEEE Access, 2018 Wheeled robots exhibit fast and stable motion on a flat road but lack the ability to overcome the obstacles and rough terrains. To address this shortage, a two-wheel hopping robot is proposed by combining the wheel locomotion and bounce movement.

Steerable miniature jumping robot [PDF]
, 2018 Jumping is used in nature by many small animals to locomote in cluttered environments or in rough terrain. It offers small systems the benefit of overcoming relatively large obstacles at a low energetic cost.

Bioinspired Jumping Locomotion for Miniature Robotics
, 2010 In nature, many small animals use jumping locomotion to move in rough terrain. Compared to other modes of ground locomotion, jumping allows an animal to overcome obstacles that are relatively large compared to its size. In this thesis we outline the main design challenges that need to be addressed when building miniature jumping robots. We then present

Robot introspection through learned hidden Markov models [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we describe a machine learning approach for acquiring a model of a robot behaviour from raw sensor data. We are interested in automating the acquisition of behavioural models to provide a robot with an introspective capability.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A flexible pressure sensor with triple‐gradient design of conductivity, modulus, and dimension in binary micro‐dome pixels is proposed. Based on precisely‐designed CNT/PDMS matrix, the device exhibits a linear sensitivity of 974.1 kPa−1 across range up to 1.8 MPa (R2 > 0.99), offering an effective strategy for potential applications in healthcare ...
