Treecreeper Drone: Adaptive Mechanism for Passive Tree Trunk Perching
Taking inspiration from treecreepers, a passively triggered aerial robot that can reliably perch on vertical tree trunks is presented. The friction‐based approach combines a microspine array with a tail‐like support, and then validates via dynamic analyses and flight experiments, ensuring stable performance across trunk diameters and bark textures ...

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‐

E‐CAD: Electroactive Polymer‐Based Cardiac Assist Device with Low Power Consumption
Conventional cardiac assist devices often require high power, involve direct blood contact, and risk driveline infections. This work presents a soft electroactive polymer‐based system that compresses the heart externally while consuming <0.3 W. With no blood contact, a 0.3 mm driveline, and a compact design, E‐CAD demonstrates enhanced output and ...

Exploring Skill Generalization with an Extra Robotic Arm for Motor Augmentation
Extra robotic arms promise to augment human motor functions during multitasking. Herein, diaphragmatic‐controlled extra robotic arm (XRA) is investigated, demonstrating significant performance improvements—true functional augmentation—in trimanual tasks. However, limited generalization to tasks requiring fine motor skills is identified.
