Soft elastic material uses energy-free floppy modes to perform and reprogram calculations, enabling smarter robots and ...

Abstract: This paper explores a design strategy of hopping robots, which makes use of free vibration of an elastic curved beam. In this strategy, the leg structure consists of a specifically shaped ...

Abstract: Woodpeckers have flexible and extendable tongues that they use to reach their prey through tiny openings in trees and insect burrows. This unique capability of their tongue represents a ...
