The contribution of the body to cognition and control in natural and artificial agents is
increasingly described as “offloading computation from the brain to the body,” where the …

A slim manipulator with redundant degrees of freedom can be of great use for inspection
and maintenance in confined spaces. Cable-actuation is often preferred because of the …

Robots will become ubiquitously useful only when they require just a few attempts to teach
themselves to perform different tasks, even with complex bodies and in dynamic …

This article addresses the problem of simultaneous and robust closed-loop control of joint
stiffness and position, for a class of antagonistically actuated pneumatic soft robots with rigid …

Anthropomimetic robotics differs from conventional approaches by capitalizing on the
replication of the inner structures of the human body, such as muscles, tendons, bones, and …

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the existing landscape of conventional
and highly biomimetic robotic arms, highlighting a prevalent tradeoff between size, range of …

This article delineates the formulation and verification of an innovative robotic elbow-and-
forearm system design, mirroring the intricate biomechanics of human musculoskeletal …

An anthropomimetic robot is one that closely copies the mechanics of the human body by
having a human-like jointed skeleton moved by compliant muscle-like actuators. This paper …

The body structure of an anatomically correct tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoid is
complex, and the difference between its geometric model and the actual robot is very large …

Lower-limb exoskeletons can aid restoring mobility in people with movement disorders.
Cable-driven exoskeletons can offload their actuators away from the human body to reduce …
