This letter presents a dual-modal adaptive gripper (DMAG) that addresses the persistent trilemma in robotic grasping among shape adaptability, high load capacity, and environmental resilience. By introducing a temporally decoupled “conform-then-lock” paradigm, the DMAG separates geometric conformati
The flexible gripper exhibits limited load capacity while possessing dexterity and adaptability to complex environments. Conversely, the thermally-driven variable stiffness gripper boasts high load capacity but suffers from slow response times. This study presents a multifunctional flexible gripper
We explore whether quantum advantages can be found for the zeroth-order feedback online exp-concave optimization problem, which is also known as bandit exp-concave optimization with multi-point feedback. We present quantum online quasi-Newton methods to tackle the problem and show that there exists…
Small soft amphibious robots have the potential to be used in the exploration of underwater pipelines, surface defect detection of underwater equipment, and underwater biological observations. In this study, we developed a small electromagnetically driven soft amphibious robot with inchworm gait mot
Variational quantum algorithm (VQA) derives advantages from its error resilience and high flexibility in quantum resource requirements, rendering it broadly applicable in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era. As the performance of VQA highly relies on the structure of the parameterized quantum c…
Gecko-inspired controllable dry adhesion has promising applications in various fields such as transfer printing, advanced robotics, and space technology. In this study, we proposed a multi-legged self-adaptive gripper based on gecko-inspired controllable adhesion to manipulate both flat and curved o
