Future humanoid robots will be widely deployed in our daily lives. Motion planning and control in an unstructured, confined, and human-centered environment utilizing dexterity and a cooperative ability of dual-arm robots is still an open issue. We pr...
Bionic multi-legged robots with flexible bodies embody human ingenuity in imitating, learning, and exploring the natural world. In contrast to rigid-body robots, these robots with flexible bodies exhibit superior locomotive capabilities. The flexible...
The inverse kinematics of robotic manipulators involves determining an appropriate joint configuration to achieve a specified end-effector position. This problem is challenging because the inverse kinematics of manipulators are highly nonlinear and c...
In order to improve the walking stability of a biped robot in multiple scenarios and reduce the complexity of the Central Pattern Generator (CPG) model, a new CPG walking controller based on multivariate linear mapping was proposed. At first, in orde...
Geckos are renowned for their exceptional climbing abilities, enabled by their specialized feet with hairy toes that attach to surfaces using van der Waals forces. Inspired by these capabilities, various gecko-like robots have been developed for high...
Nanocellulose is considered a promising and sustainable biomaterial, with excellent properties of biorenewability with improved mechanical properties. As a unique natural biopolymer, it has been applied to many different industries, where efficient a...
This study addresses the problem that the traditional method is not effective in improving the adsorption performance of vacuum suckers. From the perspective of bionics, the adsorption performance of bionic suckers based on the excellent adsorption o...
Dung beetle leg joints exhibit a remarkable capacity to support substantial loads, which is a capability significantly influenced by their surface microstructure. The exploration of biomimetic designs inspired by the surface microstructure of these j...
This study aimed to identify whether the combined use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) reduces the motor torque of a gait exercise rehabilitation robot in spinal cord injury (SCI) and to verify the effectiveness of the developed automatic a...
Kinematics, kinetics and biomechanics of human gait are widely investigated fields of research. The biomechanics of locomotion have been described as characterizing muscle activations and synergistic control, i.e., spatial and temporal patterns of co...
