Legged robot locomotion and control encompass the integration of advanced mechanical design, sensorimotor coordination and adaptive algorithms to enable agile and efficient movement over diverse ...

Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires ...

A blocky, bright-yellow robot that would look at home in a toy chest moves like a salamander, as its inventors intended. The robot and the mathematical model behind it provide insights into how ...

We've all been moving through cluttered areas, or perhaps after a night of too much partying, at some point in our lives and put out our arms to help brace ourselves on nearby objects. Robotics ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot’s ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing ...

Boasting a sophisticated design tailored for versatile mobility, Cassie demonstrates remarkable agility as it effortlessly navigates quarter-mile runs and performs impressive long jumps without ...

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.
