A protein-coated micro-sucker patch inspired by octopus for adhesion in wet conditions.

Scientific reports Sep 23, 2020
In medical robotics, micromanipulation becomes particularly challenging in the presence of blood and secretions. Nature offers many examples of adhesion strategies, which can be divided into two macro-categories: morphological adjustments and chemica...

Shape Changing Robots: Bioinspiration, Simulation, and Physical Realization.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.) Sep 21, 2020
One of the key differentiators between biological and artificial systems is the dynamic plasticity of living tissues, enabling adaptation to different environmental conditions, tasks, or damage by reconfiguring physical structure and behavioral contr...

Flexible electromagnetic capturer with a rapid ejection feature inspired by a biological ballistic tongue.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 11, 2020
Bionics is the inspiration resource of state-of-the-art science and technology. The chameleon can capture prey at great distances with the assistance of its highly stretchable and ballistic tongue. Inspired by this biological structure, here we demon...

Insect-inspired jumping robots: challenges and solutions to jump stability.

Current opinion in insect science Sep 10, 2020
Some insects can jump to heights that are several times their body length. At smaller scales, jumping mechanisms are constrained by issues relating to scaling of power generation, which insects have resolved over the course of their evolution. These ...

Fish-like aquatic propulsion studied using a pneumatically-actuated soft-robotic model.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jun 9, 2020
Fish locomotion is characterized by waves of muscle electrical activity that proceed from head to tail, and result in an undulatory pattern of body bending that generates thrust during locomotion. Isolating the effects of parameters like body stiffne...

Development of an annelid-like peristaltic crawling soft robot using dielectric elastomer actuators.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jun 9, 2020
The annelid, which consists of several identical segments, exploits its soft structures to move effectively in complex natural environments. Elongation and shortening of different segments produce a reverse peristaltic wave while retractable setae ge...

Biologically inspired swimming robotic frog based on pneumatic soft actuators.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 27, 2020
Research on soft robots and swimming robots has been widely reported and demonstrated. However, none of these soft swimming robots can swim flexibly and efficiently using legs, just like a frog. This paper demonstrates a self-contained, untethered sw...

Strategies to modulate zebrafish collective dynamics with a closed-loop biomimetic robotic system.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 19, 2020
The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a di...

Multi-legged steering and slipping with low DoF hexapod robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 19, 2020
Thanks to their sprawled posture and multi-legged support, stability is not as hard to achieve for hexapedal robots as it is for bipeds and quadrupeds. A key engineering challenge with hexapods has been to produce insect-like agility and maneuverabil...

Dual-sensor fusion based attitude holding of a fin-actuated robotic fish.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 13, 2020
In nature, the lateral line system (LLS) is a critical sensor organ of fish for rheotaxis in complex environments. Inspired by the LLS, numbers of artificial lateral line systems (ALLSs) have been designed to the fish-like robots for flow field perce...
