Tasering Twin Soft Robot: A Multimodal Soft Robot Capable of Passive Flight and Wall Climbing (2022)
Journal Article

The application of Soft Crawling Robots (SCRs) to real-world scenarios remains a grand challenge due to their limited deployment time to reach the target and accessibility to difficult-to-reach environments by any obstacles. To overcome these limitat... Read More about Tasering Twin Soft Robot: A Multimodal Soft Robot Capable of Passive Flight and Wall Climbing.

Novel Reconfigurable Walking Machine Tool Enables Symmetric and Nonsymmetric Walking Configurations (2022)
Journal Article

Current research on walking robots strives to achieve a higher efficiency, a better load capacity, and an increased adaptability. Parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs) are characterized by high payload and accuracy, but conventional PKMs with fixed...

A Novel Underactuated Continuum Robot With Shape Memory Alloy Clutches (2022)
Journal Article

The many degrees of freedom of continuum robots (CRs) enable unique applications in the search and rescue, medical and aerospace industries. However, the many motors required result in unwieldy external actuation packs and additional weight. Underact...

Modelling and experimental study of surface treatment in abrasive waterjet peening of Nickel-based superalloy: Inverse problem (2022)
Journal Article

Abrasive waterjet peening (AWJP) is a promising method of surface treatment for modifying mechanical properties of components by introducing compressive residual stress (CRS) to a workpiece surface. Many efforts have been paid so far to modelling and... Read More about Modelling and experimental study of surface treatment in abrasive waterjet peening of Nickel-based superalloy: Inverse problem.

Continuum Robots Collaborate for Safe Manipulation of High-Temperature Flame to Enable Repairs in Challenging Environments (2022)
Journal Article

This letter presents two long continuum robots, inserted through small holes, and working collaboratively in a crammed space to manipulate an extreme-temperature (>2000 °C) flame for coating repair on aeroengines without the need of their disassembly...
