In biomimetic design, researchers recreate existing biological structures to form functional devices. For biohybrid robotic swimmers assembled with tissue engineering, this is problematic because most devices operate at different length scales than their naturally occurring counterparts, resulting in reduced performance. To overcome these challenges, here, we demonstrate how machine learning–directed optimization (ML-DO) can be used to inform the design of a biohybrid robot, outperforming other nonlinear optimization techniques, such as Bayesian optimization, in the selection of high-performance geometries. We show how this approach can be used to maximize the thrust generated by a tissue-engineered mobuliform miniray. This results in devices that can swim at the millimeter scale while more closely preserving natural locomotive scaling laws. Overall, this work provides a quantitatively rigorous approach for the engineering design of muscular structure-function relationships in an automated fashion.

Snap-through, a rapid transition of a system from an equilibrium state to a nonadjacent equilibrium state, is a valuable design element of soft devices for converting a monolithic stimulus into systematic responses with impulsive motions. A common way to benefit from snap-through is to embody it within structures and materials, such as bistable structures. Torque-reversal mechanisms discovered in nature, which harness snap-through instability via muscular forces, may have comparative advantages. However, the current intricacy of artificial torque-reversal mechanisms, which require sophisticated kinematics/kinetics, constrains design possibilities for soft joints and devices. Here, we harnessed hyperelasticity to implement a torque-reversal mechanism in a soft joint, generating repetitive cilia-like beating motions through an embedded tendon. The developed hyperelastic torque-reversal mechanism (HeTRM) exhibits transient bistability under a specific compressive displacement/force threshold, with snap-through occurring at the point where the transience ends. To validate the effectiveness of this design principle, we explored the functionalities of HeTRM in energy storage and release, dual modes for impulsive and continuous motion, mechanical fuse, and rapid three-dimensional motions, through proof-of-concept soft machines. We expect that this design principle provides insight into incorporating snap-through behavior in soft machines and may aid in understanding the relationship between torque-reversal mechanisms and bistability.

Safety-assured high-speed navigation for MAVs

Micro air vehicles (MAVs) capable of high-speed autonomous navigation in unknown environments have the potential to improve applications like search and rescue and disaster relief, where timely and safe navigation is critical. However, achieving autonomous, safe, and high-speed MAV navigation faces systematic challenges, necessitating reduced vehicle weight and size for high-speed maneuvering, strong sensing capability for detecting obstacles at a distance, and advanced planning and control algorithms maximizing flight speed while ensuring obstacle avoidance. Here, we present the safety-assured high-speed aerial robot (SUPER), a compact MAV with a 280-millimeter wheelbase and a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 5.0, enabling agile flight in cluttered environments. SUPER uses a lightweight three-dimensional light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor for accurate, long-range obstacle detection. To ensure high-speed flight while maintaining safety, we introduced an efficient planning framework that directly plans trajectories using LIDAR point clouds. In each replanning cycle, two trajectories were generated: one in known free spaces to ensure safety and another in both known and unknown spaces to maximize speed. Compared with baseline methods, this framework reduced failure rates by 35.9 times while flying faster and with half the planning time. In real-world tests, SUPER achieved autonomous flights at speeds exceeding 20 meters per second, successfully avoiding thin obstacles and navigating narrow spaces. SUPER represents a milestone in autonomous MAV systems, bridging the gap from laboratory research to real-world applications.

Humans excel at applying learned behavior to unlearned situations. A crucial component of this generalization behavior is our ability to compose/decompose a whole into reusable parts, an attribute known as compositionality. One of the fundamental questions in robotics concerns this characteristic: How can linguistic compositionality be developed concomitantly with sensorimotor skills through associative learning, particularly when individuals only learn partial linguistic compositions and their corresponding sensorimotor patterns? To address this question, we propose a brain-inspired neural network model that integrates vision, proprioception, and language into a framework of predictive coding and active inference on the basis of the free-energy principle. The effectiveness and capabilities of this model were assessed through various simulation experiments conducted with a robot arm. Our results show that generalization in learning to unlearned verb-noun compositions is significantly enhanced when training variations of task composition are increased. We attribute this to self-organized compositional structures in linguistic latent state space being influenced substantially by sensorimotor learning. Ablation studies show that visual attention and working memory are essential to accurately generate visuomotor sequences to achieve linguistically represented goals. These insights advance our understanding of mechanisms underlying development of compositionality through interactions of linguistic and sensorimotor experience.
人类擅长将习得的行为应用于非习得的情境。这种泛化行为的一个关键组成部分是我们将整体组合/分解为可重用部分的能力,这种属性称为组合性。机器人技术的一个基本问题就是:语言组合性如何通过联想学习与感觉运动技能一起发展,特别是当个体只学习部分语言组合和相应的感觉运动模式时?为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一个基于自由能原理的脑启发神经网络模型,该模型将视觉、本体感觉和语言整合到一个预测编码和主动推理的框架中。通过机械臂进行的各种仿真实验,评估了该模型的有效性和能力。研究结果表明,当任务构成的训练变量增加时,非学习动词-名词组合的学习泛化能力显著增强。我们将此归因于语言潜态空间中的自组织组合结构受到感觉运动学习的影响。消融研究表明,视觉注意和工作记忆对于准确生成视觉运动序列以实现语言表征目标至关重要。这些见解促进了我们对通过语言和感觉运动经验的相互作用来发展组合性的机制的理解。

Robots have to adjust their motor behavior to changing environments and variable task requirements to successfully operate in the real world and physically interact with humans. Thus, robotics strives to enable a broad spectrum of adjustable motor behavior, aiming to mimic the human ability to function in unstructured scenarios. In humans, motor behavior arises from the integrative action of the central nervous system and body biomechanics; motion must be understood from a neuromechanics perspective. Nervous regions such as the cerebellum facilitate learning, adaptation, and coordination of our motor responses, ultimately driven by muscle activation. Muscles, in turn, self-stabilize motion through mechanical viscoelasticity. In addition, the agonist-antagonist arrangement of muscles surrounding joints enables cocontraction, which can be regulated to enhance motion accuracy and adapt joint stiffness, thereby providing impedance modulation and broadening the motor repertoire. Here, we propose a control solution that harnesses neuromechanics to enable adjustable robot motor behavior. Our solution integrates a muscle model that replicates mechanical viscoelasticity and cocontraction together with a cerebellar network providing motor adaptation. The resulting cerebello-muscular controller drives the robot through torque commands in a feedback control loop. Changes in cocontraction modify the muscle dynamics, and the cerebellum provides motor adaptation without relying on prior analytical solutions, driving the robot in different motor tasks, including payload perturbations and operation across unknown terrains. Experimental results show that cocontraction modulates robot stiffness, performance accuracy, and robustness against external perturbations. Through cocontraction modulation, our cerebello-muscular torque controller enables a broad spectrum of robot motor behavior.
机器人必须调整其运动行为以适应不断变化的环境和多变的任务要求,才能成功地在现实世界中操作并与人类进行物理互动。因此,机器人技术致力于实现广泛的可调节运动行为,旨在模仿人类在非结构化场景中的功能。在人类中,运动行为源于中枢神经系统和身体生物力学的综合作用;运动必须从神经力学的角度来理解。神经区域如小脑促进学习、适应和协调我们的运动反应,最终由肌肉激活驱动。反过来,肌肉通过机械粘弹性自我稳定运动。此外,关节周围肌肉的激动剂-拮抗剂排列使收缩能够被调节,以提高运动精度和适应关节刚度,从而提供阻抗调节和扩大运动曲目。在这里,我们提出了一种控制方案,利用神经力学来实现可调节的机器人运动行为。我们的解决方案集成了一个复制机械粘弹性和收缩的肌肉模型,以及一个提供运动适应的小脑网络。由此产生的小脑肌肉控制器通过反馈控制回路中的扭矩命令驱动机器人。收缩的变化改变了肌肉动力学,小脑提供运动适应,而不依赖于先前的分析解决方案,驱动机器人完成不同的运动任务,包括有效载荷扰动和在未知地形上的操作。实验结果表明,收缩调节了机器人的刚度、性能精度和对外部扰动的鲁棒性。通过收缩调节,我们的小脑-肌肉扭矩控制器可以实现广泛的机器人运动行为。

Surmounting the ceiling effect of motor expertise by novel sensory experience with a hand exoskeleton 通过手外骨骼的新颖感官体验,超越了运动专业知识的天花板效应

For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the “ceiling effect.” One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we challenge this issue by exposing expert pianists to fast and complex finger movements that cannot be performed voluntarily, using a hand exoskeleton robot that can move individual fingers quickly and independently. Although the skill of moving the fingers quickly plateaued through weeks of piano practice, passive exposure to otherwise impossible complex finger movements generated by the exoskeleton robot at a speed faster than the pianists’ fastest one enabled them to play faster. Neither a training for fast but simple finger movements nor one for slow but complex movements with the exoskeleton enhanced the overtrained motor skill. The exoskeleton training with one hand also improved the motor skill of the untrained contralateral hand, demonstrating the intermanual transfer effect. The training altered patterns of coordinated activities across multiple finger muscles during piano playing but not in general motor and somatosensory functions or in anatomical characteristics of the hand (range of motion). Patterns of the multifinger movements evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left motor cortex were also changed through passive exposure to fast and complex finger movements, which accompanied increased involvement of constituent movement elements characterizing the individuated finger movements. The results demonstrate evidence that somatosensory exposure to an unexperienced motor skill allows surmounting of the ceiling effect in a task-specific but effector-independent manner.
对于训练有素的个人,如运动员和音乐家,学习往往在大量训练后停滞不前,被称为“天花板效应”。要克服的一个瓶颈是没有要学习的技能的先验物理经验。在这里,我们通过使用可以快速独立移动单个手指的手外骨骼机器人,将专家钢琴家暴露在无法自主执行的快速复杂的手指运动中来挑战这个问题。尽管经过数周的钢琴练习,手指的移动技能很快就达到了平台状态,但被动地接触外骨骼机器人以比钢琴家最快的速度更快的速度产生的复杂手指动作,使他们弹得更快。无论是快速但简单的手指运动训练,还是缓慢但复杂的外骨骼运动训练,都不能提高过度训练的运动技能。单手外骨骼训练也提高了未训练的对侧手的运动技能,显示了手间转移效应。训练改变了钢琴演奏过程中多个手指肌肉的协调活动模式,但对一般运动和体感功能或手的解剖特征(运动范围)没有影响。通过被动暴露于快速和复杂的手指运动中,经颅磁刺激引起的左运动皮层多指运动模式也发生了变化,这伴随着个性化手指运动特征的组成运动元素的参与增加。结果表明,体感暴露于没有经验的运动技能中,可以以特定任务但独立于效应者的方式克服天花板效应。

Patterns of the multifinger movements evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left motor cortex were also changed through passive exposure to fast and complex finger movements, which accompanied increased involvement of constituent movement elements characterizing the individuated finger movements. The results demonstrate evidence that somatosensory exposure to an unexperienced motor skill allows surmounting of the ceiling effect in a task-specific but effector-independent manner.</div>","PeriodicalId":56029,"journal":{"name":"Science Robotics","volume":"10 98","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":26.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.science.org/doi/reader/10.1126/scirobotics.adn3802","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
