From a functional standpoint, classic robots are not at all similar to biological systems. If
compared with rigid robots, animals' bodies look overly redundant, imprecise, and weak …

Embodied intelligence (intelligence that requires and leverages a physical body) is a well-
known paradigm in soft robotics, but its mathematical description and consequent …

Underwater devices are critical for environmental applications. However, existing prototypes
typically use bulky, noisy actuators and limited configurations. Consequently, they struggle …

Natural selection has tuned many flying and swimming animals to share the same narrow
design space for high power efficiency, eg, their dimensionless Strouhal numbers St that …

Jellyfish have attracted worldwide attention owing to their fantastic moving styles, which also
inspired development in soft robotics to meet the demands of underwater surveillance. In …

Mass manufactured, biologically inspired soft robots are needed for safe robot-animal
interactions. The key challenges are the design and manufacture of high-performance …

Rolling motions have been observed in many animals and insects. In the previous fluidic
rolling system, a deformed chamber and long cables were imperative to drive the soft rolling …

Over the past few years, the research community has witnessed a burgeoning interest in
biomimetics, particularly within the marine sector. The study of biomimicry as a revolutionary …

Existing miniature underwater robots, which use electromagnetic actuators or soft actuators,
function in shallow waters. However, in the deep sea, the robots face challenges, such as …

Marine operations required to transfer technicians and equipment represent a significant
proportion of the total cost of offshore wind. The profile of sites being considered for floating …
