Rapid grasping of fabric using bionic soft grippers with elastic instability
Zechen Xiong, Zihan Guo, Li Yuan +3
Robot grasping is subject to an inherent tradeoff: Grippers with a large span typically take a longer time to close, and fast grippers usually cover a small span. However, many pra…

Fast Swimming Robots Based on Elastic Instability
Zechen Xiong, Liqi Chen, Wenxiong Hao +2
Inspired by the snap-through action of a steel hairclip, we propose a design method for in-plane prestressed mechanisms that exhibit biomimetic morphing and high locomotion perform…
