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

Animals are much better at running than robots. The difference in performance arises in the
important dimensions of agility, range, and robustness. To understand the underlying …

Leg properties have been involved in the broad study of human walking from mechanical
energy to motion prediction of robotics. However, the variable leg elasticities and their …

Neuromorphic computing offers the opportunity to curtail the huge energy demands of
modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications by implementing computations into new, brain …

Robots have the potential to assist and complement humans in the study and exploration of
extreme and hostile environments. For example, valuable scientific data have been …

Soft robotics and its related technologies enable robot abilities in several robotics domains
including, but not exclusively related to, manipulation, manufacturing, human–robot …

This article surveys manipulation, including both biological and robotic manipulation.
Biology inspires robotics and demonstrates aspects of manipulation that are far in the future …

Discovery of fundamental principles which govern and limit effective locomotion (self-
propulsion) is of intellectual interest and practical importance. Human technology has …

Robotics researchers increasingly agree that ideas from biology and self-organization can
strongly benefit the design of autonomous robots. Biological organisms have evolved to …

This paper presents implementation of a highly dynamic running gait with a hierarchical
controller on the MIT Cheetah. The developed controller enables high-speed running of up …
