Hydrodynamic pressure sensing for a biomimetic robotic fish caudal fin integrated with a resistive pressure sensor.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Micro-sensors, such as pressure and flow sensors, are usually adopted to attain actual fluid information around swimming biomimetic robotic fish for hydrodynamic analysis and control. However, most of the reported micro-sensors are mounted discretely...

Artificial organic afferent nerves enable closed-loop tactile feedback for intelligent robot.

Nature communications
The emulation of tactile sensory nerves to achieve advanced sensory functions in robotics with artificial intelligence is of great interest. However, such devices remain bulky and lack reliable competence to functionalize further synaptic devices wit...

Robotic flytrap with an ultra-sensitive 'trichome' and fast-response 'lobes'.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nature abounds with examples of ultra-sensitive perception and agile body transformation for highly efficient predation as well as extraordinary adaptation to complex environments. Flytraps, as a representative example, could effectively detect the m...

Universal optimal design in the vertebrate limb pattern and lessons for bioinspired design.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper broadly summarizes the variation of design features found in vertebrate limbs and analyses the resultant versatility and multifunctionality in order to make recommendations for bioinspired robotics. The vertebrate limb pattern (e.g. should...

Visually guided swarm motion coordination via insect-inspired small target motion reactions.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Despite progress developing experimentally-consistent models of insect in-flight sensing and feedback for individual agents, a lack of systematic understanding of the multi-agent and group performance of the resulting bio-inspired sensing and feedbac...

Design of a bipedal robot for water running based on a six-linkage mechanism inspired by basilisk lizards.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Legged robots have received widespread attention in academia and engineering owing to their excellent terrain adaptability. However, most legged robots can only adapt to high-hardness environments instead of flexible environments. Expanding the motio...

Jellyfish-Inspired Soft Robot Driven by Pneumatic Bistable Actuators.

Soft robotics
Soft actuators offer numerous potential applications; however, challenges persist in achieving a high driving force and fast response speed. In this work, we present the design, fabrication, and analysis of a soft pneumatic bistable actuator (PBA) mi...

Biomimetic neuromorphic sensing systems, inspired by the structure and function of biological neural networks, represent a major advancement in the field of sensing technology and artificial intelligence. This review paper focuses on the development ...

Biomimetic fusion: Platyper's dual vision for predicting protein-surface interactions.

Materials horizons
Predicting protein binding with the material surface still remains a challenge. Here, a novel approach, platypus dual perception neural network (Platyper), was developed to describe the interactions in protein-surface systems involving bioceramics wi...

A tactile sensing system capable of recognizing objects based on bioinspired self-sensing soft pneumatic actuator.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Tactile sensors play an important role when robots perform contact tasks, such as physical information collection, force or displacement control to avoid collision. For these manipulations, excessive contact may cause damage while poor contact cause ...
