Bioinspired decision architectures containing host and microbiome processing units.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 27, 2016
Biomimetic robots have been used to explore and explain natural phenomena ranging from the coordination of ants to the locomotion of lizards. Here, we developed a series of decision architectures inspired by the information exchange between a host or...
Froghopper-inspired direction-changing concept for miniature jumping robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 14, 2016
To improve the maneuverability and agility of jumping robots, several researchers have studied steerable jumping mechanisms. This steering ability enables robots to reach a particular target by controlling their jumping direction. To this end, we pro...
Variable recruitment in bundles of miniature pneumatic artificial muscles.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 13, 2016
The natural compliance and force generation properties of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) allow them to operate like human muscles in anthropomorphic robotic manipulators. Traditionally, manipulators use a single PAM or multiple PAMs actuated in ...
A starfish robot based on soft and smart modular structure (SMS) actuated by SMA wires.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 9, 2016
This paper describes the design, fabrication and locomotion of a starfish robot whose locomotion principle is derived from a starfish. The starfish robot has a number of tentacles or arms extending from its central body in the form of a disk, like th...
Development of a bio-inspired transformable robotic fin.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 31, 2016
Fish swim by oscillating their pectoral fins forwards and backwards in a cyclic motion such that their geometric parameters and aspect ratios change according to how fast or slow a fish wants to swim; these complex motions result in a complicated hyd...
Gait-Event-Based Synchronization Method for Gait Rehabilitation Robots via a Bioinspired Adaptive Oscillator.
IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Aug 30, 2016
In the field of gait rehabilitation robotics, achieving human-robot synchronization is very important. In this paper, a novel human-robot synchronization method using gait event information is proposed. This method includes two steps. First, seven ga...
A design concept of parallel elasticity extracted from biological muscles for engineered actuators.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 23, 2016
Series elastic actuation that takes inspiration from biological muscle-tendon units has been extensively studied and used to address the challenges (e.g. energy efficiency, robustness) existing in purely stiff robots. However, there also exists anoth...
Modeling and analysis of bio-syncretic micro-swimmers for cardiomyocyte-based actuation.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 22, 2016
Along with sensation and intelligence, actuation is one of the most important factors in the development of conventional robots. Many novel achievements have been made regarding bio-based actuators to solve the challenges of conventional actuation. H...
Single actuator wave-like robot (SAW): design, modeling, and experiments.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 1, 2016
In this paper, we present a single actuator wave-like robot, a novel bioinspired robot which can move forward or backward by producing a continuously advancing wave. The robot has a unique minimalistic mechanical design and produces an advancing sine...
A new biarticular actuator design facilitates control of leg function in BioBiped3.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 1, 2016
Bioinspired legged locomotion comprises different aspects, such as (i) benefiting from reduced complexity control approaches as observed in humans/animals, (ii) combining embodiment with the controllers and (iii) reflecting neural control mechanisms....
