Inspired by the fast,agile movements of insects,we present a 1.9 g,4.5 cm in length,piezoelectrically driven,quadrupedal microrobot.This microrobot uses a novel spatial parallel mechanism as its hip joint,which consis...
Online Social Networks(OSNs)are based on the sharing of different types of information and on various interactions(comments,reactions,and sharing).One of these important actions is the emotional reaction to the conten...
A variety of soft wall-climbing robots have been developed that can move in certain patterns.Most of these soft robots can only move on conventional surfaces and lack adaptability to complex surfaces.Improving the ada...
