Interactive robotics is increasingly used to investigate animal behaviour, including communication, mating and collective dynamics. An essential component for such systems is sensing the animals and the relevant aspects of the habitat to enable coherent cl ...

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) serve as a key technology in flexible electronic devices, especially tactile sensors, enabling flexible robotic manipulators to effectively interact with their external environment. Persistent challenges include inadequ ...

Compliant mechanisms can advantageously be preloaded by buckled beams in order to reduce their motion stiffness, and therefore also their actuation forces. However, preloading compliant mechanisms has the side-effect of modifying the deformation of their f ...

In recent years, soft robotics has surged in applications like wearables, drones, smart fabrics, and medical instruments. Due to their compliance, these devices excel in tasks demanding dexterity and adaptability, such as manipulation, locomotion, crash re ...

Animal locomotion results from a combination of power modulation and cyclic appendage trajectories, but combining these two properties in small-sized robots is difficult. Here, we introduce and characterize a new elastic actuation system based on an invert ...

Heart failure is a cardiovascular disease affecting between 1 and 2% of the population of developed countries alone - more than 10 million people - with this number bound to increase due to the ageing of the population. This condition starts to develop its ...

This paper presents the MuMMER data set, a data set for human-robot interaction scenarios that is available for research purposes% It comprises 1 h 29 min of multimodal recordings of people interacting with the social robot Pepper in entertainment scenario ...

The previously reported gel and polymer actuators require external inputs, such as batteries, circuits, electronic circuits, etc., compared with autonomous motions produced by the living organisms. To realize the spontaneous motions, here, we propose to in ...

In this paper, we consider a self-triggered formulation of model predictive control. In this variant, the controller decides at the current sampling instant itself when the next sample should be taken and the optimization problem be solved anew. We incorpo ...
