In this communication, we design and analyse Sundoli, a necrobot (a bionically engineered robot using decreased animal parts). It is manufactured using a crow endoskeleton, supported and rearticulated by a geared mechanical metastructure to enable controllable passive deformation. The metastructures and bone braces are…

This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka’, a novel millimetre-scale necro-robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between miniature robots and insects. To create Poka, we use the exoskeleton of a deceased five-horned rhinoceros beetle (Eupatorus gracilicornis) as a mechanical…

- 1. An analysis of 12 companies based on eight criteria described in section 3. Although these criteria are subjective, they have the benefit of being able to distinguish companies based on their maturity and approach to the market; - 2. These humanoids are very complex systems facing technological challenges which…

Interactive neurorobotics is a subfield which characterizes brain responses evoked during interaction with a robot, and their relationship with the behavioral responses. Gathering rich neural and behavioral data from humans or animals responding to agents can act as a scaffold for the design process of future social…

Robotics looks to nature for inspiration to perform effectively in unstructured environments and can be used as a platform to test biological hypotheses. Social animals often share information about food source locations: one example is tandem running in ants, where a leader guides a naive recruit to a known profitable…

'Otar Akanyeti' 'Lily Chambers'] Robotic control is a fundamental part of autonomous robots. Modular legged and climbing robots are complex machines made up of a variety of subsystems, ranging from a single robot with simple legs to a complex system composed of multiple legs (or modules) with computing power and…

In manually advancing experimental processes, the stages may be long-term and need to be repeated. Human errors with the repetition of the steps turn into a time-consuming and high-cost for the experiment processes. For this reason, autonomous liquid processing systems are promising technologies. However, in addition…

Soft bio-inspired robotics is a growing field of research that seeks to close the gap with animal robustness and adaptability where conventional robots fall short. The embedding of sensors with the capability to discriminate between different body deformation modes is a key technological challenge in soft robotics to…

5## DISCUSSION The robotic systems introduced are now compared: each system is classified by its spectrum of application and features (Table [rcs2409-tbl-0001]). A restricted range of features has been selected to compare the systems. Usually, the surgical systems take a large space of the surgical room: in case of…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

The development of robots as tools for biological research, sometimes termed “biorobotics”, has grown rapidly in recent years, fueled by the proliferation of miniaturized computation and advanced manufacturing techniques. Much of this work is focused on the use of robots as biomechanical models for natural systems.…

Learning to perform everyday tasks, using a complex robot, presents a nested problem. It is nested, because, on the surface, there is a problem of robot control—but within it, there lies a deeper, more challenging problem that demands the control nuances necessary to perform complicated functional tasks. For…

Despite the promise of self-driving laboratories to accelerate discovery, their widespread implementation is hindered by prohibitive cost and technical complexity. We introduce BrickSDLab, a fully functional self-driving lab platform built entirely from LEGO® components, designed to bridge this accessibility gap.…

Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) promise accelerated scientific discovery and product development by closing the loop between robotic execution and AI/ML-driven decision making. In practice, however, SDL orchestration remains fragmented; workflows are typically encoded as laboratory-specific scripts or bespoke…
