Unmanned aerial vehicles perform well in aerial tasks but still face limitations due to limited endurance. In this work, we present a novel spherical terrestrial–aerial bimodal vehicle, called FlyOrb, which is capable of both rolling and flying. The vehicle integrates inertial wheel actuation with a
Fully actuated system approach (FASA) provides a promising control framework for robots with redundant actuation, offering simplified controller design and increased design freedom. However, its application to legged robots remains challenging due to hybrid actuation from intermittent ground contact…

Privacy-preserving federated learning allows multiple users to jointly train a model with coordination of a central server. The server only learns the final aggregation result, thereby preventing leakage of the users' (private) training data from the individual model updates. However, keeping the in…
Despite the advances in the field of human-robot interface (HRI) based on biological neural signal, the use of the sole electroencephalography (EEG) signal to help robotic exoskeleton predict the limb movement is currently no mature in rehabilitation training, due to its unreliability. Multimodal HR…
This study proposes a soft gripper driven by a simple, lightweight, low-cost, self-sensing super-coiled polymer (SCP) actuator with a high power-to-weight ratio. SCP generates an untwisting motion when heated, and therefore, is suitable for designing the actuator. The actuator is fabricated with a m
