Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) offer considerable promise for assisting wearers in complex tasks, yet their adaptability is often constrained by their inherent fixed morphology. While modular reconfigurable designs present a viable solution, applying it to wearable systems introduces critical si
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the prototype design and control methodologies of modular snake robots. However, there is still relatively little research on the potential enabled by the active morphological transformation of robots. This paper presents a novel modular snake r
Modular self-reconfigurable robots (MSRRs) have significantly progressed in hardware and algorithm development. However, they are generally used in terrestrial environments, leaving broad scenarios to be explored and benefited. This letter presents a novel amphibious self-reconfigurable robot (ASRR)
Previous research has shown that load-bearing with elastic suspension backpacks improves human biomechanics and reduces human energy expenditure. Constant-force suspension backpacks (CFSB) with zero stiffness were developed to minimize the inertial force of loads. However, there is a mismatch betwee
Soft grippers exhibit impressive grasping performance with great simplicity, compliance, adaptability, and robustness. However, it is a great challenge for them to achieve high-load carrying capacity. Here, we present a soft fabric gripper to achieve high-load carrying capacity. The gripper features
