Biomimetic robots driven by smart materials: Motion forms, stimulation methods and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robots enhance adaptability by mimicking biological systems, but rigid materials limit performance. Smart materials with stimuli responsiveness and shape adaptability enable more flexible actuation and improved environmental interaction.

FEWT: Frequency‐Enhanced Wavelet‐Based Transformer for Multimodal Wheeled Bimanual Manipulation

SmartBot, EarlyView.
An embodied mobile bimanual robot learns dexterous manipulation skills through imitation learning with multimodal perception. The integration of vision, proprioception, and tactile sensing establishes a comprehensive perception–action loop, enabling the robot to continuously understand, interact with, and adapt to complex physical environments.

An Ergonomic Customizable Soft Robotic Glove Toward Personalized Hand Rehabilitation

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Soft robotic gloves for hand rehabilitation are often limited by poor fit and uneven pressure on the fingers. Here, the authors report an ergonomic all‐fabric glove whose dual‐action actuators are tailored to individual finger geometry by CNC heat sealing, with symmetrical chambers that distribute interface pressure more evenly. Weighing only 90 g, the

Lower Limb Knee Exoskeleton [PDF]

, 2019
This project is the primary phase to develop a prototype of a lower limb exoskeleton through the implementation of novel hardware and software techniques that will overcome specific issues those current exoskeletons suffer from, such as lack of robust ...

Improving Human Diving Endurance With a Field‐Deployable Exoskeleton

SmartBot, EarlyView.
High energetic demands to overcome drag, combined with a finite supply of self‐contained breathing gas, fundamentally limit human endurance in underwater locomotion. Here, we present DiveMate, a portable exoskeleton that provides adaptive bidirectional assistance synchronized with fin‐kicking during diving, reducing lower‐limb muscle activation and ...

Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Exoskeleton‐assisted physiotherapy in school and outpatient contexts for minimally ambulant children with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 1580-1592, November 2026.
Abstract Aim To assess the clinical feasibility of lower‐limb pediatric exoskeleton‐assisted (Trexo Plus) physiotherapy for minimally ambulatory children at an outpatient center and a primary school. Secondary aims were to assess associated functional and goal‐based outcomes before and after Trexo‐based physiotherapy.

Dissecting the Metabolic Costs of Uphill and Downhill Walking

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Work‐ and collision‐based models of locomotion relate the body's mechanical work requirements to metabolic energy expenditure at a system level, but do not capture the underlying force and work demands of muscle that drive energy use. Energy is liberated as heat to activate muscle and maintain force production (“force‐related costs”) and as ...
