Design and Analysis for a Diving‐Beetle‐Inspired Swimming Robot with Multi‐Flexible Appendages
This article presents a bionic underwater robot inspired by the swimming behavior of diving beetles. The robot features flexible appendages and a specialized motion controller to mimic the beetle's swimming gaits. Extensive experiments show improved thrust, speed, and maneuverability.

Untethered Autonomous Holonomic Mobile Micromanipulator for Operations in Isolated Confined Spaces
Herein, a lightweight (515 g), compact (10 cm3), untethered holonomic mobile micromanipulator powered by piezoelectric actuators is presented. It autonomously manipulates mm to sub‐mm objects and droplets in narrow, hazardous spaces, achieving 0.18 ± 0.51 mm positioning accuracy and −0.4° ± 1.2° angular deviation.

This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Liquid metal “sloshing” by the robot's own actuator is proposed to improve the self‐healing performance. The proposed method drastically enhances the healed strength by decomposing the surface oxides and the impurities. The method contributes to the world's first demonstration of active self‐healing behavior performed by a life‐sized legged robot. Self‐

A passive, tunable perching mechanism enables aerial robots to reliably perch onto smooth surfaces. The design integrates a bistable mechanism with a soft suction cup and SMA actuators for active tuning. Experiments demonstrate robust performance by adapting to varying contact speeds and surface orientation misalignments, enabling diverse perching ...
