Flexible Optical Synapses Based on InSe/MoS Heterojunctions for Artificial Vision Systems in the Near-Infrared Range.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Near-infrared (NIR) synaptic devices integrate NIR optical sensitivity and synaptic plasticity, emulating the basic biomimetic function of the human visual system and showing great potential in NIR artificial vision systems. However, the lack of semi...

A novel hypothesis for how albatrosses optimize their flight physics in real-time: an extremum seeking model and control for dynamic soaring.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The albatross optimized flight maneuver-known as dynamic soaring-is nothing but a wonder of biology, physics, and engineering. By utilizing dynamic soaring, this fascinating bird can travel in the desired flight direction almost for free by harvestin...

Method of Changing Running Direction of Cheetah-Inspired Quadruped Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The rapid change of motion direction during running is beneficial to improving the movement flexibility of the quadruped robot, which is of great relevance to its research. How to make the robot change its motion direction during running and achieve ...

The elephant in the room: The biomimetic principle in bio-robotics and embodied AI.

Studies in history and philosophy of science
In recent years, bio-inspired robots have shaped numerous domains of technical and scientific production. Bio-inspired robots can now be found in all areas of industry, medicine, architecture, and even culture. Despite the wealth of historiographic a...

Protocol for the operation of a breathing and vaping biomimetic robot to delineate real-time inhaled particle profile of electronic cigarettes.

STAR protocols
We recently developed a robotic human vaping mimetic real-time particle analyzer (HUMITIPAA) to evaluate the impact of change in chemical constituents and breathing profiles of electronic cigarettes (ECs) on potential pulmonary toxicity. Here, we des...

Fabrication and Functionality Integration Technologies for Small-Scale Soft Robots.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Small-scale soft robots are attracting increasing interest for visible and potential applications owing to their safety and tolerance resulting from their intrinsic soft bodies or compliant structures. However, it is not sufficient that the soft bodi...

Bioinspired 3D-Printed Snakeskins Enable Effective Serpentine Locomotion of a Soft Robotic Snake.

Soft robotics
We present a multi-material three-dimensional-printed snakeskin with orthotropic friction anisotropy, which permits undulatory slithering of a soft snake robot on rough surfaces. Such a snakeskin is composed of a soft skin base and embedded rigid sca...

AquaClimber: a limbed swimming and climbing robot based on reduced order models.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many legged robots have taken insight from animals to run, jump, and climb. Very few, however, have extended the flexibility of limbs to the task of swimming. In this paper, we address the study of multi-modal limbed locomotion by extending our later...

An All-in-One Bioinspired Neural Network.

ACS nano
In spite of recent advancements in artificial neural networks (ANNs), the energy efficiency, multifunctionality, adaptability, and integrated nature of biological neural networks remain largely unimitated by hardware neuromorphic computing systems. H...

Multimodal collective swimming of magnetically articulated modular nanocomposite robots.

Nature communications
Magnetically responsive composites can impart maneuverability to miniaturized robots. However, collective actuation of these composite robots has rarely been achieved, although conducting cooperative tasks is a promising strategy for accomplishing di...
