A self-tuning multi-phase CPG enabling the snake robot to adapt to environments

open access: yes, 2011
Making biomimetic robots move like natural animals is an interesting problem, because this topic involves not only the low level algorithm that controls the movement of robots' bodies and limbs but also the high level control strategy that deals with

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Analysis of Helical Gait of a Snake-like Robot

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents our work on analysis of helical gait for snake-like robots. Although helical gait of snakelike robots was realized before, there is no any intensive investigation about the relationship between its performance and the control ...

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Serpentine locomotion of a snake-like robot controlled by musical theory

open access: yes, 2005
Based on the structure of both biological snakes and snake-like robots and their rhythmic locomotion, the musical theory is adopted as a control method to study on a snake-like robot.

Mammalian Osteoderm Ultrastructure in the Armored Acomys Spiny Mouse Tail

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The ultrastructure of armored platelets – termed osteoderms – in the tail skin of Acomys cahirinus spiny mice is characterized using 2D and 3D microscopy methods. The imbricated structure is composed of calcium phosphate biomineral and has select structural elements that are bone‐like and tooth‐like in nature.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.
