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

Abstract: Contact pressure between the human body and its surroundings has important implications. For example, it plays a role in comfort, safety, posture, and health. We present a method that infers ...

Abstract: In this article, we present a design concept, in which a monolithic soft body is incorporated with a vibration-driven mechanism, called Leafbot. We first report a morphological design of the ...

A simple electrical method shows how protein nanowires carry both electrons and ions, offering a clearer way to design soft, tunable materials for body-compatible electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
