Electrohydraulic musculoskeletal robotic leg for agile, adaptive, yet energy-efficient locomotion
Nature CommunicationsRobotic locomotion in unstructured terrain demands an agile, adaptive, and energy-efficient architecture. To traverse such terrains, legged robots use rigid electromagnetic motors and sensorized drivetrains to adapt to the environment actively.

, 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 ...

Towards a Soft Science of Soft Robots. A Call for a Place for Aesthetics in Soft Robotics Research
ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction, 2023 The position paper presents an argument that aesthetic theory and practice are pertinent to the rapidly expanding field of soft robotics. Soft robotics as an aesthetic phenomenon is introduced and contextualized drawing on the author's own research and practice.

Soft Mechanical‐Electrical Logic Using Liquid Metal‐Filled 3D‐Printed Architectures
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We present 3D‐printed soft mechanical–electrical logic elements that use liquid metal–filled silicone tubes actuated by thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactic acid (TPU/PLA) architectures to produce Boolean operations. Complementary normally open and normally closed unit cells perform repeatable binary transitions and can be combined into more complex ...
