A Motion‐Sensing Integrated Soft Robot with Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Pipeline Inspection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A soft robot integrated with triboelectric nanogenerator‐based tactile sensors is proposed to achieve locomotion within pipelines and exteroception of different materials and structures of pipeline inner surfaces. By introducing a 1D‐convolutional neural network algorithm, the soft robot's accuracy in recognizing eight different pipe inner surface ...

Maneuvering Control of Planar Snake Robots Using Virtual Holonomic Constraints
IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2016 This paper investigates the problem of maneuvering control for planar snake robots. The control objective is to make the center of mass of the snake robot converge to a desired path and traverse the path with a desired velocity.

Optimizing snake locomotion in the plane. II. Large transverse friction [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We determine analytically the form of optimal snake locomotion when the coefficient of transverse friction is large, the typical regime for biological and robotic snakes. We find that the optimal snake motion is a retrograde traveling wave, with a wave amplitude that decays as the -1/4 power of the coefficient of transverse friction. This result agrees

Compliant Robotics in Space: A Prospective Review of Soft and Deformable Systems for Space Missions
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Compliant robots are increasingly becoming integral to space exploration due to their adaptability, flexibility, and lightweight design. This article reviews categories such as soft, reconfigurable, and hyper‐redundant robots and their evolving role in enhancing space missions.

Visual Pigments, Ocular Filters and the Evolution of Snake Vision.
Molecular biology and evolution, 2016 Much of what is known about the molecular evolution of vertebrate vision comes from studies of mammals, birds and fish. Reptiles (especially snakes) have barely been sampled in previous studies despite their exceptional diversity of retinal photoreceptor

Dynamic Single‐Input Control of Multistate Multitransition Soft Robotic Actuator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A concept for reducing the number of control inputs to one in a system with N degrees of freedom, is presented. Incorporating structural instabilities, cleverly, enables choosing any desired trajectory out of (N!)2 with only one input. The concept is demonstrated experimentally, along with analytical insights and numerical simulations.
