Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

Wirelessly Powered Soft Magnetic Robot with Microneedle for Electrical Stimulation and Drug Delivery
A wirelessly powered soft magnetic robot integrates microneedles to enable dual functions: electrical stimulation (86.7% efficiency at 6 cm, tunable 0–20 V voltage, 0.4–50 ms pulses) and drug delivery. It switches surfaces via magnetic fields for gastrointestinal tract locomotion and treatment, with in vitro validation in fresh pig gut showing ...

Topology Optimization of Exo‐Glove Poly II for Enhancing Functionality and Wearability
This study proposes a topology optimization method for Exo‐Glove Poly II to enhance functionality and wearability. By modeling its finger body as a longitudinally periodic structure, a unit cell‐level optimization—aimed at minimizing distortion and achieving user‐preferred stretchability—is established. Experimental validation shows reduced distortion,
