Open DOI
Aerodynamic performance and mechanistic analysis of a maple-samara-inspired small wind turbine rotor
Spinning samaras provide a promising biological basis for small wind turbine rotors, but the engineering translation of their three-dimensional morphology and the mechanisms governing performance losses below and above the low-tip-speed-...

DOI 10.1088/1748-3190/aea958
Open DOI
A bioinspired bistable robotic gripper with decoupled palm and finger reconfiguration
Existing soft grippers often suffer from slow actuation, continuous energy consumption during grasp maintenance, and limited payload-to-weight ratios, which restrict their application in dynamic and unstructured environments. In addition...

DOI 10.1088/1748-3190/aeb461
Open DOI
Wing pitch timing and wing elevation modulate forces and body pitch in forward flapping flight
Aerodynamic performance in flying animals can be controlled not only by changes in wing shape and size, but also by changes in wing motion. In flapping wings, the two wings interact aerodynamically, where the interaction depends on wingb...

DOI 10.1088/1748-3190/aeb460
Open DOI
Impact-Induced Adhesion Degradation in Gecko-Inspired Fibrillar Adhesive Units
Gecko-inspired fibrillar adhesives are promising for impact-contact applications, yet the mechanism underlying adhesion degradation after a single impact event remains unclear. Existing studies have primarily focused on micropillar buckl...

DOI 10.1088/1748-3190/aeb45f
Open DOI
A Chemically Driven Soft Growing Robot with Coupled Gas Generation and Growth Dynamics
Soft growing robots achieve extension through material eversion and exhibit remarkable compliance and adaptability in confined environments. However, most existing soft growing robots still rely on tethered laboratory pneumatic supplies,...

Open DOI
Phase relationship between spinal motion and limb support determines high-speed running performance in a cheetah model with asymmetric spinal stiffness
Cheetahs are characterized by large spinal flexion and extension during high-speed running, yet the dynamical role of the phase relationship between spinal motion and limb support remains unclear. We aimed to clarify how this phase relat...

Gait determinants of undulatory swimming via energy optimality principles
Animals with a slender body such as eels progress by propagating body waves; this swimming mode is called anguilliform. Though anguilliform swimming has been studied extensively, its optimality and gait selection principles remain unknow...

DOI 10.1088/1748-3190/aea971
Open DOI
Engineering analysis on periodic pedal motion of clams during foot penetration
Clams are bivalve species that burrow into substrate using a characteristic organ termed ‘foot’. Their burrowing process involves a repetitive sequence of movements termed the digging cycle. This study focuses on the initial phase of the...

Dislocation analysis on bio-inspired open hip joint with active-and-passive stabilizers
This study presents a simulator framework to replicate joint dislocation that can be used to evaluate the contributions of various joint stabilizers. Compared to conventional axial joint configurations, biologically inspired open joints ...

Tethering and depth of submergence affect the swimming performance of undulatory robots
Over the past few decades, biomimetic robotic experiments have significantly advanced our understanding of undulatory swimming. Compared to animal experiments, robotic experiments offer repeatability and controlled parameter variations, ...
