The human hand is able to achieve an unparalleled diversity of manipulation actions. One
contributor to this capability is the structure of the human finger pad, where soft internal …

The climbing capabilities of living creatures such as geckos, tree frogs, and inchworms
provide a promising platform for exploiting biomimetic soft climbing robots, but achieving this …

Crawling is a common locomotion mechanism in soft robots and nonskeletal animals. In this
work we propose modeling soft-robotic legged locomotion by approximating it with an …

In this paper, we develop a soft climbing robot made of silicone. Octopus-like behaviour is
realized by a simple mechanism utilizing the dynamics of the soft body, and the robot can …

Payload capacity is a crucial factor for climbing robots, as it directly affects their ability to
carry and transport heavy loads during various climbing tasks. However, many dry adhesion …

This article demonstrates a reconfigurable soft wall-climbing robot actuated by
electromagnet. The robot follows the earthworm movement gait and is capable of translation …

Wall-climbing robot (WCR) displays a great potential in a wide range of tasks that are
challenging or dangerous for human presence. Adhesion capacity and control mechanism …

In this research, we developed a friction variable surface for robots to realize manipulation
requiring slip by a robotic hand with soft bodies. The soft robot hands can stably grip many …
