A virtuous cycle between invertebrate and robotics research: perspective on a decade of Living Machines research.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many invertebrates are ideal model systems on which to base robot design principles due to their success in solving seemingly complex tasks across domains while possessing smaller nervous systems than vertebrates. Three areas are particularly relevan...

Will biomimetic robots be able to change a hivemind to guide honeybees' ecosystem services?

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We study whether or not a group of biomimetic waggle dancing robots is able to significantly influence the swarm-intelligent decision making of a honeybee colony, e.g. to avoid foraging at dangerous food patches using a mathematical model. Our model ...

The Natural Robotics Contest: crowdsourced biomimetic design.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Biomimetic and bioinspired design is not only a potent resource for roboticists looking to develop robust engineering systems or understand the natural world. It is also a uniquely accessible entry point into science and technology. Every person on E...

Towards Living Machines: current and future trends of tactile sensing, grasping, and social robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The development of future technologies can be highly influenced by our deeper understanding of the principles that underlie living organisms. The Living Machines conference aims at presenting (among others) the interdisciplinary work of behaving syst...

Small-scale location identification in natural environments with deep learning based on biomimetic sonar echoes.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many bat species navigate in complex, heavily vegetated habitats. To achieve this, the animal relies on a sensory basis that is very different from what is typically done in engineered systems that are designed for outdoor navigation. Whereas the eng...

SoftSAR: The New Softer Side of Socially Assistive Robots-Soft Robotics with Social Human-Robot Interaction Skills.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
When we think of "soft" in terms of socially assistive robots (SARs), it is mainly in reference to the soft outer shells of these robots, ranging from robotic teddy bears to furry robot pets. However, soft robotics is a promising field that has not y...

Computational Biomaterials: Computational Simulations for Biomedicine.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
With the flourishing development of material simulation methods (quantum chemistry methods, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, phase field, etc.), extensive adoption of computing technologies (high-throughput, artificial intelligence, machine learning,...

Design and control of soft biomimetic pangasius fish robot using fin ray effect and reinforcement learning.

Scientific reports
Soft robots provide a pathway to accurately mimic biological creatures and be integrated into their environment with minimal invasion or disruption to their ecosystem. These robots made from soft deforming materials possess structural properties and ...

Nanoenabled Trainable Systems: From Biointerfaces to Biomimetics.

ACS nano
In the dynamic biological system, cells and tissues adapt to diverse environmental conditions and form memories, an essential aspect of training for survival and evolution. An understanding of the biological training principles will inform the design...

Electronic whiskers for velocity sensing based on the liquid metal hysteresis effect.

Soft matter
The artificial biomimetic sensory hair as state-of-art electronics has drawn great attention from academic theorists of industrial production given its potential application in soft robotics, environmental exploration and health monitoring. However, ...
