Gecko-inspired robots have significant potential applications;however,deviations in the yaw direction during locomotion are inevitable for legged robots that lack external sensing.These deviations cause the robot to s...
This research was done at the Institute of Robotics,Shenyang University of Technology,with the assistance of the National Natural Science Foundation of China(No.52005344).
It has been demonstrated that the flexibility of the structure can enhance the kinematic performance of the underwater bionic robotic fish.Furthermore,the thrust of the underwater robotic fish can be further enhanced ...

Lizards use the synergy between their feet and tail to climb on slopes and vertical terrains.They use their soft adhesive feet with millions of small hairs to increase their contact area with the terrain surface and p...
Compliant mobile robotics is a developing bioinspired concept of propulsion for locomotion.This paper studies the modeling and analysis of a compliant tail-propelled fish-like robot.This biomimetic design uses a fluid...
In this paper, a rotational leg-type miniature robot with a bioinspired actuated middle joint and a tail is proposed for stable locomotion and improved climbing ability. The robot has four independently actuated rotat...
Steering is important for the high maneuverability of mobile robots. Many studies have been performed to improve the maneuverability using a tail. The aim of this research was to verify the performance of a water-runn...
Robotics is one area of research in which bio-inspiration is an effective way to design a system by investigating the working principles of nature. Recently, tails have received interest in robotics to increase stabil...
We present a dynamic model of a fish robot with a Non-uniform Flexible Tail (NFT). We investigate the tendencies of the thrust and swimming speed when the input driving moment changes. Based on the proposed dynamic ...
Running on water produces very energy-efficient and fast motion in water environments. Many studies have been performed to develop bio-inspired water-running robots. To achieve good performance, the lifting force is v...
Inspired by kangaroo's locomotion, we report on developing a kangaroo-style hopping robot. Unlike bipeds, quadrupeds, or hexapods which altemate the legs for forward locomotion, the kangaroo uses both legs synchronou...
