Sound‐Based Assembly of Magnetically Actuated Soft Robots Toward Enhanced Release of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Magnetic soft robots offer promise in biomedicine due to their wireless actuation and rapid response, but current fabrication methods are complex and have limited cellular compatibility. A new, contactless bioassembly strategy using hydrodynamic instabilities is introduced, enabling customizable, centimeter‐scale robots.

A Snake-like Robot for Inspection Tasks

, 2008
In the earth, there are many kinds of snake. The movement of a real snake is very flexible as it can be adapted to various environments. Snakes are able to move on rough surfaces, they cross obstacles, and they can creep into areas that are very ...

CPG-controlled asymmetric locomotion of a snake-like robot for obstacle avoidance

, 2009
To realize the obstacle avoidance of a snake-like robot in unstructured environment, an asymmetric locomotion of snake-like robot is introduced. Imitating from the locomotion of natural snakes, the turn motion and the round motion of the snake-like robot

Anatomical and histological characterization of the heart of the scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber) and two views of its heart (ventral and dorsal), highlighting its external morphology. The study also employed complementary approaches, including morphometric analysis, radiography, histological examination, and scanning electron microscopy, to provide a comprehensive ...

A cubic CPG model for snake-like robot to adapt to environment

, 2010
In this paper, we propose a new CPG model for the snake-like robot being able to adapt to different environments. This model can produce typical serpentine, sidewinding and traveling wave locomotion gaits and switch between them automatically based on a ...

Potential Risks of Virtual Influencer Diversity in Charitable Endorsements: A Cognitive Dissonance Perspective

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highlighting diversity‐related attributes has become an increasingly prominent marketing communication strategy in virtual influencer endorsement practices. Prior research has largely focused on commercial endorsement contexts, conceptualized diversity as a homogeneous and single‐dimensional construct, and emphasized its predominantly positive

A Snake-Like Robot with Envelope Wheels and Obstacle-Aided Gaits

Applied Sciences, 2019
Most of the current snake-like robots can only work in a specific environment, or only have a good movement effect in a certain gait. This paper presents a design for a snake-like robot to improve the adaptability of various environments.
