Needle-based sampling coupled with colorimetric reaction catalyzed by layered double hydroxide peroxidase mimic for rapid detection of the change of d-glucose levels with time in bananas.
Analytica chimica acta
Nov 9, 2017
For analyte detection in raw fruits, the conventional sample pretreatment method usually involves mashing (blending or homogenization), extraction, and dilution. This process is time-consuming, solvent-intensive and laborious. Usually, there is also ...
Dynamical analysis and development of a biologically inspired SMA caterpillar robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 26, 2017
With the goal of robustly designing and fabricating a soft robot based on a caterpillar featuring shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators, analytical and numerical models for a soft robot were created based on the forward crawling motion of the Manduca se...
Performance of neural networks for localizing moving objects with an artificial lateral line.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 26, 2017
Fish are able to sense water flow velocities relative to their body with their mechanoreceptive lateral line organ. This organ consists of an array of flow detectors distributed along the fish body. Using the excitation of these individual detectors,...
From biokinematics to a robotic active vision system.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 21, 2017
Barn owls move their heads in very particular motions, compensating for the quasi-immovability of their eyes. These efficient predators often perform peering side-to-side head motions when scanning their surroundings and seeking prey. In this work, w...
Scaling up liquid state machines to predict over address events from dynamic vision sensors.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 1, 2017
Short-term visual prediction is important both in biology and robotics. It allows us to anticipate upcoming states of the environment and therefore plan more efficiently. In theoretical neuroscience, liquid state machines have been proposed as a biol...
Tegotae-based decentralised control scheme for autonomous gait transition of snake-like robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 4, 2017
Snakes change their locomotion patterns in response to the environment. This ability is a motivation for developing snake-like robots with highly adaptive functionality. In this study, a decentralised control scheme of snake-like robots that exhibite...
Cardiac Muscle-cell Based Actuator and Self-stabilizing Biorobot - PART 1.
Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Jul 11, 2017
Biological machines often referred to as biorobots, are living cell- or tissue-based devices that are powered solely by the contractile activity of living components. Due to their inherent advantages, biorobots are gaining interest as alternatives to...
Morphological self stabilization of locomotion gaits: illustration on a few examples from bio-inspired locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 20, 2017
To a large extent, robotics locomotion can be viewed as cyclic motions, named gaits. Due to the high complexity of the locomotion dynamics, to find the control laws that ensure an expected gait and its stability with respect to external perturbations...
Wet-Spun Biofiber for Torsional Artificial Muscles.
Soft robotics
Jun 19, 2017
The demands for new types of artificial muscles continue to grow and novel approaches are being enabled by the advent of new materials and novel fabrication strategies. Self-powered actuators have attracted significant attention due to their ability ...
Stiffness Customization and Patterning for Property Modulation of Silicone-Based Soft Pneumatic Actuators.
Soft robotics
Jun 19, 2017
Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs), as novel types of motion drivers for robotic devices, excel in many applications, such as rehabilitation and biomimicry, which demand compliance and softness. To further expand their scope of utilization, the SPAs sho...
