Grip as Needed, Glide on Demand: Ultrasonic Lubrication for Robotic Locomotion
Mostafa A. Atalla, Daan van Bemmel, Jack Cummings +3
Friction is the essential mediator of terrestrial locomotion, yet in robotic systems it is almost always treated as a passive property fixed by surface materials and conditions. He…
OSCAR: An Ovipositor-Inspired Self-Propelling Capsule Robot for Colonoscopy
Mostafa A. Atalla, Anand S. Sekar, Remi van Starkenburg +4
Self-propelling robotic capsules eliminate shaft looping of conventional colonoscopy, reducing patient discomfort. However, reliably moving within the slippery, viscoelastic enviro…
3D Printable Gradient Lattice Design for Multi-Stiffness Robotic Fingers
Siebe J. Schouten, Tomas Steenman, Rens File +5
Human fingers achieve exceptional dexterity and adaptability by combining structures with varying stiffness levels, from soft tissues (low) to tendons and cartilage (medium) to bon…
Mechanically-Inflatable Bio-Inspired Locomotion for Robotic Pipeline Inspection
Mostafa A. Atalla, Fabian Trauzettel, Sebastiaan P. van Gelder +3
Pipelines, vital for fluid transport, pose an important yet challenging inspection task, particularly in small, flexible biological systems, that robots have yet to master. In this…
