Wearable upper limb exoskeletons and robot arms have shown great application prospects in both daily life and industrial applications. However, since human arms have many degrees of freedom, these robotic devices usually require a large number of actuators to provide sufficient driving force and fle
Carrying a load can affect human locomotion and increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. In this letter, we proposed a method inspired by the running posture of ungulate species to reduce metabolic energy by controlling load motion. We developed an energy-saving exoskeleton with an active load
Inspired by the anisotropic friction of snakes' scales, many snake-like robots actuated by scales have been developed. However, these robots' scales' angle is unalterable, causing them to crawl in only one direction. Moreover, these robots typically require complex controllers to control their locom
Traditional soft crawling robots have many disadvantages, including their complex structure, difficulty in manufacturing, and low load capacity. Inspired by the art form of kirigami, we opted to design a soft, flat crawling robot using only simple, fast laser cutting technology and a weaving method
