Memristors are an important component of the next-generation artificial neural network, high computing systems, etc. In the past, two-dimensional materials based memristors have achieved a high performance and low power consumption, though one at the...

Biomimetic Hairy Whiskers for Robotic Skin Tactility.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Touch sensing is among the most important sensing capabilities of a human, and the same is true for smart robotics. Current research on tactile sensors is mainly concentrated on electronic skin (e-skin), but e-skin is prone to be easily dirtied, dama...

A biomimetic neural encoder for spiking neural network.

Nature communications
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) promise to bridge the gap between artificial neural networks (ANNs) and biological neural networks (BNNs) by exploiting biologically plausible neurons that offer faster inference, lower energy expenditure, and event-dri...

Tunabot Flex: a tuna-inspired robot with body flexibility improves high-performance swimming.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Tunas are flexible, high-performance open ocean swimmers that operate at high frequencies to achieve high swimming speeds. Most fish-like robotic systems operate at low frequencies (≤3 Hz) resulting in low swim speeds (≤1.5 body lengths per second), ...

Biohybrid robotics: From the nanoscale to the macroscale.

Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology
Biohybrid robotics is a field in which biological entities are combined with artificial materials in order to obtain improved performance or features that are difficult to mimic with hand-made materials. Three main level of integration can be envisio...
