Hybrid parameter identification of a multi-modal underwater soft robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 28, 2017
We introduce an octopus-inspired, underwater, soft-bodied robot capable of performing waterborne pulsed-jet propulsion and benthic legged-locomotion. This vehicle consists for as much as 80% of its volume of rubber-like materials so that structural f...
Performance of an insect-inspired target tracker in natural conditions.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 16, 2017
Robust and efficient target-tracking algorithms embedded on moving platforms, are a requirement for many computer vision and robotic applications. However, deployment of a real-time system is challenging, even with the computational power of modern h...
Flow separation on flapping and rotating profiles with spanwise gradients.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 15, 2017
The growth of leading-edge vortices (LEV) on analogous flapping and rotating profiles has been investigated experimentally. Three time-varying cases were considered: a two-dimensional reference case with a spanwise-uniform angle-of-attack variation α...
A review of compliant transmission mechanisms for bio-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicles.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 15, 2017
Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are a class of unmanned aircraft that imitate flight characteristics of natural organisms such as birds, bats, and insects, in order to achieve maximum flight efficiency and manoeuvrability. Designing proper ...
The effect of leg compliance in multi-directional jumping of a flea-inspired mechanism.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 10, 2017
Inspired by the relationship between leg compliance and jumping performance in the false stick insect, this paper describes how variations in leg compliance and jumping direction affect the performance of a flea-inspired jumping mechanism. The amount...
Compact and low-cost humanoid hand powered by nylon artificial muscles.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 3, 2017
This paper focuses on design, fabrication and characterization of a biomimetic, compact, low-cost and lightweight 3D printed humanoid hand (TCP Hand) that is actuated by twisted and coiled polymeric (TCP) artificial muscles. The TCP muscles were rece...
Bio-inspired annelid robot: a dielectric elastomer actuated soft robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 31, 2017
Biologically inspired robots with inherent softness and body compliance increasingly attract attention in the field of robotics. Aimed at solving existing problems with soft robots, regarding actuation technology and biological principles, this paper...
Bio-inspired vision based robot control using featureless estimations of time-to-contact.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 31, 2017
Marvelous vision based dynamic behaviors of insects and birds such as perching, landing, and obstacle avoidance have inspired scientists to propose the idea of time-to-contact, which is defined as the time for a moving observer to contact an object o...
A survey on dielectric elastomer actuators for soft robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 23, 2017
Conventional industrial robots with the rigid actuation technology have made great progress for humans in the fields of automation assembly and manufacturing. With an increasing number of robots needing to interact with humans and unstructured enviro...
A plant-inspired robot with soft differential bending capabilities.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 20, 2016
We present the design and development of a plant-inspired robot, named Plantoid, with sensorized robotic roots. Natural roots have a multi-sensing capability and show a soft bending behaviour to follow or escape from various environmental parameters ...
