Wireless Hybrid-Actuated Soft Miniature Robot for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesActuators
Wireless soft miniature robots have been studied for biomedical applications. However, the wireless soft miniature robots developed so far are mainly composed of synthetic polymers that do not guarantee biocompatibility and biodegradability. Additionally,

Robot introspection through learned hidden Markov models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper we describe a machine learning approach for acquiring a model of a robot behaviour from raw sensor data. We are interested in automating the acquisition of behavioural models to provide a robot with an introspective capability.

Wireless Inchworm-like Compact Soft Robot by Induction Heating of Magnetic Composite

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
Microrobots and nanorobots have been produced with various nature-inspired soft materials and operating mechanisms. However, freely operating a wirelessly miniaturized soft robot remains a challenge.

Quasi optimal sagittal gait of a biped robot with a new structure of knee joint [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The design of humanoid robots has been a tricky challenge for several years. Due to the kinematic complexity of human joints, their movements are notoriously difficult to be reproduced by a mechanism. The human knees allow movements including rolling and

Soft Robotics

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2018
AbstractThis description of “soft robotics” is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe soft robotics as anewfield—one that offers opportunities to chemists and materials scientists who like to make “things” and to work with macroscopic ...

Soft Robot Workspace Estimation via Finite Element Analysis and Machine Learning

open access: yesActuators
Soft robots with compliant bodies offer safe human–robot interaction as well as adaptability to unstructured dynamic environments. However, the nonlinear dynamics of a soft robot with infinite motion freedom pose various challenges to operation and ...

Design of a Fuel Explosion-Based Chameleon-Like Soft Robot Aided by the Comprehensive Dynamic Model

open access: yesCyborg and Bionic Systems, 2023
Soft robotics have advantages over the traditional rigid ones to achieve the bending motion but face with challenges to realize the rapid and long-distance linear motion due to the lack of a suitable actuation system. In this paper, a new explosion-based

Soft Robots in Surgery

open access: yes, 2016
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents the gold standard in the majority of abdominal operations, although some fundamental limitations are still present and are far to be really addressed despite emerging robotic solutions. Flexible endoscopes can exploit their high flexibility to reach the surgical target while being inserted remotely or by a ...
