Soft pneumatic artificial muscles are increasingly popular in the field of soft robotics due to
their light-weight, complex motions, and safe interfacing with humans. In this paper, we …

This paper reviews how multifunctioning joints produce highly agile limbs in animals with
lessons for robotics. One of the key reasons why animals are so fast and agile is that they …

For people with amputated lower limbs, it is imperative to make high-performance
prostheses that reproduce, as accurately as possible, the functions of the amputated limb. In …

The toe joints play an important role in human walking and running movement patterns. In
this letter, we propose a design method for metamorphic foot structures based on spring …

The use and function of robots are evolving at a fast pace, sparking interest in creative
solutions within a quickly expanding potential market in cutting-edge industries with …

This paper presents the design and testing of an arched foot with several biomimetic
features, including five individual MTP (toe) joints, four individual midfoot joints, and plantar …

To perform agile bipedal movement, human feet must meet extremely demanding
requirements in terms of compactness, flexibility, strength, joint movements, actuation, and …

This thesis explores critical advancements in bipedal and humanoid robotics, focusing on
improving slip-turning maneuvers through the integration of musculoskeletal structures, toe …

Der Roboter als Helfer des Menschen, der einem die schweren und unangenehmen
Arbeiten abnimmt. Das ist die Darstellung in den Science-Fiction Geschichten, die uns in …
