Human-in-the-loop active electrosense.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 20, 2016
Active electrosense is a non-visual, short range sensing system used by weakly electric fish, enabling such fish to locate and identify objects in total darkness. Here we report initial findings from the use of active electrosense for object localiza...
A novel method for full locomotion compensation of an untethered walking insect.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 6, 2016
In this study, we developed a novel unfixed-type experimental system that we call a '3-DOF servosphere.' This system comprises one sphere and three omniwheels that support the sphere. The measurement method is very simple. An experimental animal is p...
Approximate analytical solutions to the double-stance dynamics of the lossy spring-loaded inverted pendulum.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 5, 2016
This paper introduces approximate time-domain solutions to the otherwise non-integrable double-stance dynamics of the 'bipedal' spring-loaded inverted pendulum (B-SLIP) in the presence of non-negligible damping. We first introduce an auxiliary system...
Investigation of Collective Behaviour and Electrocommunication in the Weakly Electric Fish, Mormyrus rume, through a biomimetic Robotic Dummy Fish.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 1, 2016
A robotic fish has been developed to create a mixed bio-hybrid system made up of weakly electric fish and a mobile dummy fish. Weakly electric fish are capable of interacting with each other via sequences of self-generated electric signals during ele...
Planar maneuvering control of underwater snake robots using virtual holonomic constraints.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 24, 2016
This paper investigates the problem of planar maneuvering control for bio-inspired underwater snake robots that are exposed to unknown ocean currents. The control objective is to make a neutrally buoyant snake robot which is subject to hydrodynamic f...
Aerodynamic parameters from distributed heterogeneous CNT hair sensors with a feedforward neural network.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 10, 2016
Distributed arrays of artificial hair sensors have bio-like sensing capabilities to obtain spatial and temporal surface flow information which is an important aspect of an effective fly-by-feel system. The spatiotemporal surface flow measurement enab...
Improving actuation efficiency through variable recruitment hydraulic McKibben muscles: modeling, orderly recruitment control, and experiments.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 3, 2016
Hydraulic control systems have become increasingly popular as the means of actuation for human-scale legged robots and assistive devices. One of the biggest limitations to these systems is their run time untethered from a power source. One way to inc...
Methodology for designing and manufacturing complex biologically inspired soft robotic fluidic actuators: prosthetic hand case study.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 31, 2016
We present a novel methodology for the design and manufacture of complex biologically inspired soft robotic fluidic actuators. The methodology is applied to the design and manufacture of a prosthetic for the hand. Real human hands are scanned to prod...
A water-walking robot mimicking the jumping abilities of water striders.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 21, 2016
The highly efficient and agile water-surface locomotion of water striders has attracted substantial research attention. Compared with imitating the horizontal rowing motion, imitating the jumping capability of water striders is much more challenging ...
Collective responses of a large mackerel school depend on the size and speed of a robotic fish but not on tail motion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 6, 2016
So far, actuated fish models have been used to study animal interactions in small-scale controlled experiments. This study, conducted in a semi-controlled setting, investigates robot interactions with a large wild-caught marine fish school (∼3000 ind...
