Human action recognition aims to understand human behavior and is crucial in enhancing the intelligence and naturalness of human–computer interaction and bionic robots. This paper proposes a method to improve the complexity and real-time perfor...

This study numerically explores a bird-inspired tail-less unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) design which can turn through proverse yaw by using a bell-shaped spanload wing configuration. The research methodology consists of two phases. In the first phase...

In this research, we propose a bagworm-inspired robot that can acquire its exterior by incorporating various objects from the surrounding environment into its skin. This study was inspired by the bagworm, the larva of the giant bagworm moth, which wr...

Papilio polytes is a cosmopolitan Lepidoptera species of controversial use and management. It remained unclear how its epidermal ultrastructure changes during development and how this affects its wetting properties in relation to water and pesticide...

Goats can walk freely and flexibly in complex environments such as concave and convex or soft ground. And their flexible spine has functions such as adjusting balance and providing auxiliary power during movement, while the limbs only have support fu...

Background/Objectives: This study evaluated the trueness and precision of three low-cost 3D printers compared to a professional-grade printer in fabricating orthodontic models. Methods: Two upper dental models, one crowded and one non-crowded, were d...

Focusing on the difficulty of lubrication in the scavenging port area of a cylinder liner of an actual marine two-stroke diesel engine, the transportation of interface lubricating oil was studied. In this paper, a biomimetic fish scale texture compos...

Anomalies refer to data inconsistent with the overall trend of the dataset and may indicate an error or an unusual event. Time series prediction can detect anomalies that happen unexpectedly in critical situations during the usage of a system or a ne...

Jumping is a fundamental capability for wheeled-bipedal robots (WBRs) navigating unstructured terrains, with jump height and stability serving as indicators of the robot’s environmental adaptability. However, existing trajectory planning method...

Airway mucus plays a critical role in respiratory health, with diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF) being characterized by mucus that exhibits increased viscosity and altered viscoelasticity. In vitro models that emulate these properties are essenti...
