BlueGuppy: tunable kinematics enables maneuverability in a minimalist fish-like robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aquatic ecosystems vital to biodiversity and climate change-such as coral reefs, kelp forests, and mangrove forests-are often cluttered with natural obstacles. To navigate these complex habitats, fish have evolved relatively small body sizes and outs...

Design and realization of a low-drive bionic frog robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents the design and fabrication of a compact underdriven bionic frog robot, which is inspired by the locomotion stance of a frog. The robot's hind legs were ingeniously built using an underdriven associative 8-bar linkage mechanism wit...

Seeker-M: A bionic mantis shrimp robot with an adjustable-mass flexible spine.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To enhance the motion flexibility and environmental adaptability of underwater robots, this study proposes a novel design, Seeker-M, inspired by the locomotion mechanism of the mantis shrimp. The robot imitates the mantis shrimp's multi-pleopod swimm...

Muscle-inspired elasto-electromagnetic mechanism in autonomous insect robots.

Nature communications
In nature, the dynamic contraction and relaxation of muscle in animals provide the essential force and deformation necessary for diverse locomotion, enabling them to navigate and overcome environmental challenges. However, most autonomous robotic sys...

Research pathways from tensegrity-related biological structures to tensegrity robots: a bibliometric analysis.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Tensegrity describes a structural principle featuring a self-stabilizing system that consists of continuous tension elements and discontinuous compression elements. This paper undertakes a comprehensive systematic review of the overall development st...

Bioinspired untethered electromagnetic pipe-crawling robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In pipe systems, the emergence of pipe-crawling robots (PCRs) has attracted significant attention for pipe inspection and repair applications. However, conventional PCRs are bulky and heavy, limiting their speed and adaptability, particularly in conf...

Bionic Pneumatic-Driven Actuator for Underwater Sensing and Motion Control.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Biological organisms exhibit remarkable capabilities to dynamically adjust their physiological states through autonomous neural perception and adaptive locomotion, offering profound inspiration for the development of intelligent bionic systems. Parti...

An eel-like robot based on a dielectric elastomer.

PloS one
Eels have attracted significant research interest because of their long-distance migration and high-endurance cruising behavior. An underwater eel-like robot design inspired by these creatures has the potential for high efficiency, strong maneuverabi...

Experimental demonstration of third-order memristor-based artificial sensory nervous system for neuro-inspired robotics.

Nature communications
The sensory nervous system in animals enables the perception of external stimuli. Developing an artificial sensory nervous system has been widely conducted to realize neuro-inspired robots capable of effectively responding to external stimuli. Howeve...

Neural network prediction model based on Levy flight and natural biomimetic technology for its application in cancer prediction.

PloS one
Precise forecasting of cancer outcomes is essential for medical professionals to assess the well-being of patients and develop customized therapeutic plans. Despite its importance, achieving precise forecasts remains a formidable challenge. To tackle...
