Advancements in Machine Learning for Microrobotics in Biomedicine
Microrobotics is an innovative technology with great potential for noninvasive medical interventions. However, controlling and imaging microrobots pose significant challenges in complex environments and in living organisms. This review explores how machine learning algorithms can address these issues, offering solutions for adaptive motion control and ...

Emulating duration and curvature of coral snake anti-predator thrashing behaviors using a soft-robotic platform [PDF]
This paper presents a soft-robotic platform for exploring the ecological relevance of non-locomotory movements via animal-robot interactions. Coral snakes (genus Micrurus) and their mimics use vigorous, non-locomotory, and arrhythmic thrashing to deter predation.

Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications
Soft robotics has seen intense research over the past two decades and offers a promising approach for future robotic applications. However, standard industrial methods may be challenging to apply to soft robots. Recent advances in deep learning provide powerful tools to analyze and design complex soft machines that can operate in unstructured ...

Variational approximations to homoclinic snaking [PDF]
We investigate the snaking of localised patterns, seen in numerous physical applications, using a variational approximation. This method naturally introduces the exponentially small terms responsible for the snaking structure, that are not accessible via standard multiple-scales asymptotic techniques.

A mid-Cretaceous embryonic-to-neonate snake in amber from Myanmar
The first known fossil baby snake (Late Cretaceous amber, Myanmar) shows that some ancient snakes lived in marginal marine forests. We present the first known fossilized snake embryo/neonate preserved in early Late Cretaceous (Early Cenomanian) amber ...
