Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

Wirelessly Powered Soft Magnetic Robot with Microneedle for Electrical Stimulation and Drug Delivery
A wirelessly powered soft magnetic robot integrates microneedles to enable dual functions: electrical stimulation (86.7% efficiency at 6 cm, tunable 0–20 V voltage, 0.4–50 ms pulses) and drug delivery. It switches surfaces via magnetic fields for gastrointestinal tract locomotion and treatment, with in vitro validation in fresh pig gut showing ...

Shape‐Memory Alloy Torsion Strips for Soft Robotic Manipulation and Morphing
In this research, a dedicated configuration of SMA strip is proposed for soft robotic manipulation and morphing. This configuration has broad application prospects and demonstrates remarkable advantages in soft body joint operations. Mimicking invertebrates, soft robots tend to control each of their body joints to achieve the desired shape changes and ...

Insect‐scale crawling robots can traverse confined environments; nevertheless, their functionalities are predominantly restricted to sensing because of challenges in integrating actuated degrees of freedom. Herein, a miniature rotary electrostatic clutch is presented by incorporating cutting patterns in the clutch layer.
