Abstract The development and use of architectured structures is changing the means by which we design and fabricate soft robots. These materials utilize their topology and geometry to control physical and mechanical structural properties. We propose an architectured structure based on trimmed helicoids that allows for independent regulation of the bending and axial stiffness which…
Avian-inspired drones feature morphing wing and tail surfaces, enhancing agility and adaptability in flight. Despite their large potential, realising their full capabilities remains challenging due to the lack of generalized control strategies accommodating their large degrees of freedom and cross-coupling effects between their control surfaces. Here we propose a new body-rate controller for avian-inspired drones…
Abstract Magnetism is widely used for the wireless localization and actuation of robots and devices for medical procedures. However, current static magnetic localization methods suffer from large required magnets and are limited to only five degrees of freedom due to a fundamental constraint of the rotational symmetry around the magnetic axis. We present the small-scale…
Fish-like agile movements, such as fast swimming and rapid turning, are essential for biomimetic underwater robots but challenging to achieve simultaneously. We present a self-contained robotic fish capable of swimming at a speed of 6.3 body length per second and pivot turning at an angular speed of 1450° per second. These fast motions, comparable to…
Abstract Contrary to the stunning feats observed in birds of prey, aerial manipulation and grasping with flying robots still lack versatility and agility. Conventional approaches using rigid manipulators require precise positioning and are subject to large reaction forces at grasp, which limit performance at high speeds. The few reported examples of high-speed aerial grasping rely…
