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...

Bio-inspired swarm of underwater robots: a review.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
With the in-depth integration of research across multiple disciplines, such as biomimetics, robotics, and sensing technology, significant advancements have been made in swarm robotics technology, which has been applied in areas including drone swarms...

Bio-inspired robotics in times of ecological crisis: an attempt at self-criticism.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This article attempts to show that current trends in bio-inspired robotics research are incompatible with the transformations needed to address the current ecological crisis. A large part of the scientific community takes refuge behind short-term cha...

Self-organising bio-inspired reflex circuits for robust motor coordination in artificial musculoskeletal systems.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Artificial musculoskeletal systems mimic mammalian biomechanics using antagonistic muscles and rigid skeletons. They offer benefits such as adjustable stiffness, back-drivability, and muscle failure tolerance but are difficult to model and control du...

Dynamics and design of passive tails for enhanced stability of motion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this work, we study the nonlinear dynamics of tail motion using numerical simulations and experiments. Our simulations are based on a discrete model comprising rigid cylinders (representing vertebrae) coupled by longitudinal, shear, and bending sp...

Encoding flexible gait strategies in stick insects through data-driven inverse reinforcement learning.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Stick insects exhibit remarkable adaptive walking capabilities across diverse environments; however, the mechanisms underlying their gait transitions remain poorly understood. Although reinforcement learning (RL) has been employed to generate insect-...

Underwater bionic undulating fins incorporating thickness effects: hydrodynamic performance and optimal thickness variation rate analysis.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In response to the urgent issues faced by current bionic undulating fin robot propulsion mechanisms, such as low working efficiency, insufficient swimming speed, ignoring thickness parameters, and the need for further improvement in biomimetic degree...

Investigating the effect of morphology on the terrestrial gaits of amphibious fish using a reconfigurable robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The relationship between morphology and locomotion performance in amphibious fish remains poorly understood, particularly in axial-appendage-based and appendage-based movements. To address this, we introduce Polymander, a reconfigurable robot capable...

Amphibious robotic dog: design, paddling gait planning, and experimental characterization.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Mammal-inspired quadruped robots excel in traversing diverse terrestrial terrains but often lack aquatic mobility, limiting their effectiveness in amphibious environments. To address this challenge, an amphibious robotic dog (ARD) was developed, inte...
