The increasing prevalence of balance disorders presents significant challenges to rehabilitation therapy, prompting the development of rehabilitation robots as effective tools for motion training. To enhance the patient experience and rehabilitation outcomes in human-robot collaborative training, a
Flippers are important components for improving the locomotion efficiency and stability of bionic underwater robots. A novel origami-based adaptive flipper is presented to address a lack of environmental adaptability and low performance efficiency due to the structural design or inherent characteris
The lever mechanism is widely used in variable stiffness actuators for its advantages of a wide stiffness regulation range and fast response. However, online stiffness estimation for this mechanism has not been fully investigated. The high nonlinearity of joint flexibility and the dynamic coupling b
Since the advent of flying machines, engineers have strived to develop aircraft that can fly as flexibly as birds. From the original traditional control surface to the controllable morphing wing design, they all aim to improve the flight performance of drones, including the load capacity, maneuverab
Visual place recognition (VPR) is the process of identifying previously visited places using visual information. It is crucial for a robot to achieve fast and accurate VPR under appearance and viewpoint changes. Inspired by human perception intuition, this letter proposes a lightweight semantic imag
This paper presents a new variable stiffness actuator based on a second-order lever mechanism which has wide stiffness regulation range. By employing a novel symmetric structure design and improving the load capacity of the stiffness regulation module, the proposed actuator also shows well performan…
