Seeker-M: A bionic mantis shrimp robot with an adjustable-mass flexible spine.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To enhance the motion flexibility and environmental adaptability of underwater robots, this study proposes a novel design, Seeker-M, inspired by the locomotion mechanism of the mantis shrimp. The robot imitates the mantis shrimp's multi-pleopod swimm...

Bionic Pneumatic-Driven Actuator for Underwater Sensing and Motion Control.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Biological organisms exhibit remarkable capabilities to dynamically adjust their physiological states through autonomous neural perception and adaptive locomotion, offering profound inspiration for the development of intelligent bionic systems. Parti...

An eel-like robot based on a dielectric elastomer.

PloS one
Eels have attracted significant research interest because of their long-distance migration and high-endurance cruising behavior. An underwater eel-like robot design inspired by these creatures has the potential for high efficiency, strong maneuverabi...

Biomimetic Neural Intelligent E-Skin System for Tactile Perception and Robotic Decision-Making.

ACS sensors
The widespread application of electronic skin (e-skin) in human-machine interaction necessitates intelligent and information-rich systems. However, the rapid and efficient deployment of e-skin for high-precision multisensor fusion remains a critical ...

Animal-robot interaction induces local enhancement in the Mediterranean fruit flyWiedemann.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Animal-robot interaction (ARI) is an emerging field that uses biomimetic robots to replicate biological cues, enabling controlled studies of animal behavior. This study investigates the potential for ARI systems to induce local enhancement (e.g. wher...

Living material-derived intelligent micro/nanorobots.

Biomaterials science
Living materials, which include various types of cells, organelles, and biological components from animals, plants, and microorganisms, have become central to recent investigations in micro and nanorobotics. Living material-derived intelligent micro/...

Artificial Intelligence and Multiscale Modeling for Sustainable Biopolymers and Bioinspired Materials.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Biopolymers and bioinspired materials contribute to the construction of intricate hierarchical structures that exhibit advanced properties. The remarkable toughness and damage tolerance of such multilevel materials are conferred through the hierarchi...

Predicting inflammatory response of biomimetic nanofibre scaffolds for tissue regeneration using machine learning and graph theory.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
Tissue regeneration after a wound occurs through three main overlapping and interrelated stages namely inflammatory, proliferative, and remodelling phases, respectively. The inflammatory phase is key for successful tissue reconstruction and triggers ...

Bio-inspired interlocking metasurfaces.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Interlocking metasurfaces (ILMs) are patterned arrays of mating features that enable the joining of bodies by constraining motion and transmitting force. They offer an alternative to traditional joining solutions such as mechanical fasteners, welds, ...

A wing-flapping robot with a bio-inspired folding mechanism derived from the beetle's hind wing.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
When the beetle lands on the target, the hind wings fold regularly to form smaller wing packages and are hidden on the ventral side of the elytra due to the interaction between the elytra and abdomen. Its complex folding pattern is attributed to the ...
