Immediate removal of hazardous gases is critical for ensuring safety. Traditional methods, such as portable ventilation equipment, are difficult to use when hazardous gases are released in inaccessible environments. In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism that integrates an inflatable helical st
Soft growing robots are being used in various fields owing to their distinct advantages. However, their ability to manipulate tools in different applications is still challenging. In this letter, we propose an inflatable-structure-based working-channel securing mechanism for soft growing robots. The
Soft growing robots have garnered significant research interest owing to their unique locomotion. However, real-world applications of these robots are limited by challenges in achieving reversible and repeatable operations, particularly when faced with buckling during retraction. Although a variety
