Robotic systems have the potential to aid and complement healthcare in an effort to spark novel interdisciplinary initiatives between medical, engineering, and science communities.
Results for "robot"
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.
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.
Vulnerable robots change the social dynamics of a group
Hello HAL, do you read me HAL?
A resilient robotic bug
Researchers at Dartmouth have developed a miniature robotic bug that has a flexible body, is easily maneuverable, and can be completely flattened without damaging its functionality.
Helping robots think like humans
UCF researchers develop a device that mimics brain cells used for human vision. The invention may help to one day make robots that can think like humans.
