Rapid and Reversible Morphing to Enable Multifunctionality in Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces a rapid, reversible, and repeatable morphing robot through a bistable latch‐mediated, spring actuated (LaMSA) mechanism. This enables an untethered, multifunctional robot to near‐instantaneously (< 50 ms) and reversibly switch between a flying and driving configuration to navigate through different environments.

A Study on the Effect of Structural Compliance Placing in Soft Contact/Collision Properties of Multirotor Micro Aerial Vehicles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article answers the question “Where is the best place to apply compliance in a multirotor micro aerial vehicle to make it more collision‐resilient?” by analyzing the output data of more than 1200 drone collision tests for four main configurations of micro‐quadcopters each possessing a unique softness layout of physical frame.

Sound‐Based Assembly of Magnetically Actuated Soft Robots Toward Enhanced Release of Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Magnetic soft robots offer promise in biomedicine due to their wireless actuation and rapid response, but current fabrication methods are complex and have limited cellular compatibility. A new, contactless bioassembly strategy using hydrodynamic instabilities is introduced, enabling customizable, centimeter‐scale robots.

An Aerial Robot Achieving Bimodal Flight and Independent Attitude Control through Passive Morphing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a bimodal aerial robot capable of operating in both standard quadcopter and revolving flight modes. With four rotors, it independently controls position and roll‐pitch attitude across five degrees of freedom. The design features passive revolute joints, allowing seamless mid‐air transitions between modes using centrifugal forces ...

Morphy: A Compliant and Morphologically Aware Flying Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents Morphy, a 25.2 cm‐wide, 260 g aerial robot with flexible, sensorized joints that enable it to withstand high‐speed collisions and squeeze through narrow spaces. Powered by an adaptive control scheme exploiting real‐time morphology feedback, Morphy demonstrates resilience in trajectory tracking, collision, and impact recovery and ...
