Wasps are amazing fliers: they can change direction in an instant, abruptly hover in the air, and then swerve backwards or sideways. The wasp is a mini helicopter with extremely high responsiveness, ...

Abstract: Variable stiffness technologies have been widely adopted in soft robotics, also combining them with different actuation technologies and demonstrating the potential to increase the range of ...

Abstract: The designs of origami-and kirigami-inspired robots enable configurations from 2D to 3D shapes, lightweight systems, and take advantage of rapid fabrication techniques. These features have ...
