Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Machine learning provides new design possibility for 3D-printable robots
An automatic design approach with a new 3D-printing method is established to fabricate soft composites that can change to predetermined shapes and generate controllable robotic motions under a magnetic field.
Controlling artificial cilia with magnets and light
Researchers create an artificial array of magnetic cilia that could contribute to advancing the capabilities of soft robotics.
Robotics and wearable technologies could help fight future pandemics
Robotic systems have the potential to aid and complement healthcare in an effort to spark novel interdisciplinary initiatives between medical, engineering, and science communities.
A soft robot inspired by the Venus flytrap
A soft robotic actuator harnesses the elastic snap‐through and snap‐back instability of a rubber balloon to realize rapid, large deformations.
A kirigami-based soft robot controlled by light
Kirigami transformations give rise to mechanical actuation of a soft robot upon light illumination.
A low-cost, intelligent soft robotic finger
Researchers from Taiwan and Japan have developed a low-cost, intelligent soft robotic finger using paper electronics.
Microrobots show their true colors
Using a micro-3D-printing technique, researchers were able to print detailed robotic parts that are smaller than the diameter of a human hair and display color-expressing features for microrobot tracking and identification.
Scientists create supervised randomness to mimic our own neural network
Controlling the probability of a series of seemingly random events is the key to mimicking the human brain to optimize neuromorphic learning.
The soft touch of intelligent, robotic systems
A new, flexible, and self-powered sensor made by magnetoelectric materials can convert mechanical stimuli to electrical signals for robots with a “soft touch”.
Creating versatile artificial muscles for life-like robots
To mimic the fluid and versatile movement of soft-bodied animals, soft robots require their own “muscles” to function.
