ONLINE COVER Swimming with AgnathaX. Experimentally investigating how local pressure-sensitive receptors and central pattern generators influence motor commands in vertebrate swimmers, such as lamprey, is difficult. To study undulatory swimming in these animals, Thandiackal et al. built a lamprey-like robot that captures the key components of a lamprey’s neuromechanical system. Studies into their…

ONLINE COVER Opening Doors. Robot swarms are designed to achieve complex global behaviors through simple local interactions between robots with very rudimentary sensing and locomotive abilities. Boudet et al. demonstrate that a swarm of primitive, centimeter-scale, vibrating robots bound by a deformable metal scaffold can give rise to directional motion. The mechanically coupled motion of the…

ONLINE COVER Groundbreaking Soft Robot. Robotic burrowing presents different challenges to robotic walking, swimming, or flying. Burrowing through soil requires subterranean interaction forces to be overcome; these forces can be an order of magnitude higher than air or water. Inspired by burrowing animals such as the southern sand octopus and the sandfish lizard, Naclerio et al. have developed a…

ONLINE COVER Robot Grasping and Manipulation. Considerable progress in robotic grasping has been made in picking and sorting regular objects in controlled environments. Yet, compared with human hands, which are exceptionally skilled at handling and transforming objects of various shapes and sizes, robotic hands remain inferior. For example, grasping and manipulation of soft, free-form objects…

ONLINE COVER A Wheel Advance. Transformable wheels based on membrane origami have the potential for large shape variation, high weight-to-payload ratio, and simple fabrication. However, existing membrane origami wheels have limited load-bearing capacity. By introducing a wireframe design rule that accommodates thick membranes, Lee et al. have developed a high payload membrane origami wheel…

ONLINE COVER Untethered Soft Robots Walk This Way. Pneumatic soft robots typically require bulky electromechanical components, such as pumps and valves, to achieve legged locomotion. To simplify the design of untethered quadruped robots, Drotman et al. use fluidic circuits, rather than electronic circuits, to achieve programmable locomotion in their robot. Specifically, a bioinspired gait pattern…
