Versatile Like a Seahorse Tail: A Bio‐Inspired Programmable Continuum Robot For Conformal Grasping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2022
Compliant grasping is an important function of continuum robots that interact with humans and/or unpredictable environments. However, the existing robots often have cross‐sections that remain constant along their length. This causes the robots to exhibit

Reduced rotational flows enable the translation of surface-rolling microrobots in confined spaces

Nature Communications, 2022
The effect of geometrical confinement on the locomotion of microrobots is crucial to operating them in real-world applications. Bozuyuk et al. show that the locomotion efficiency of microrollers decreases in confined spaces at high rotation frequencies ...
