SoRSS: A Soft Robot for Bio-Mimicking Stomach Anatomy and Motility.

Soft robotics
A human stomach is an organ in the digestive system that breaks down foods by physiological digestion, including mechanical and chemical functions. The mechanical function is controlled by peristaltic waves generated over the stomach body, known as a...

Recent advances in biomimetic soft robotics: fabrication approaches, driven strategies and applications.

Soft matter
Compared to traditional rigid-bodied robots, soft robots are constructed using physically flexible/elastic bodies and electronics to mimic nature and enable novel applications in industry, healthcare, aviation, military, Recently, the fabrication of...

Accommodating unobservability to control flight attitude with optic flow.

Nature
Attitude control is an essential flight capability. Whereas flying robots commonly rely on accelerometers for estimating attitude, flying insects lack an unambiguous sense of gravity. Despite the established role of several sense organs in attitude s...

Live fish learn to anticipate the movement of a fish-like robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The ability of an individual to predict the outcome of the actions of others and to change their own behavior adaptively is called anticipation. There are many examples from mammalian species-including humans-that show anticipatory abilities in a soc...

Using natural language processing to find research topics in Living Machines conferences and their intersections with Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publications.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The number of published scientific articles is increasing dramatically and makes it difficult to keep track of research topics. This is particularly difficult in interdisciplinary research areas where different communities from different disciplines ...

Multi-environment robotic transitions through adaptive morphogenesis.

Nature
The current proliferation of mobile robots spans ecological monitoring, warehouse management and extreme environment exploration, to an individual consumer's home. This expanding frontier of applications requires robots to transit multiple environmen...

Synthetic growth by self-lubricated photopolymerization and extrusion inspired by plants and fungi.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Many natural organisms, such as fungal hyphae and plant roots, grow at their tips, enabling the generation of complex bodies composed of natural materials as well as dexterous movement and exploration. Tip growth presents an exemplary process by whic...

Target Tracking Control of a Biomimetic Underwater Vehicle Through Deep Reinforcement Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
In this article, the underwater target tracking control problem of a biomimetic underwater vehicle (BUV) is addressed. Since it is difficult to build an effective mathematic model of a BUV due to the uncertainty of hydrodynamics, target tracking cont...

Aquabots.

ACS nano
Soft robots, made from elastomers, easily bend and flex, but deformability constraints severely limit navigation through and within narrow, confined spaces. Using aqueous two-phase systems we print water-in-water constructs that, by aqueous phase-sep...

3D-printed biomimetic artificial muscles using soft actuators that contract and elongate.

Science robotics
Biomimetic machines able to integrate with natural and social environments will find ubiquitous applications, from biodiversity conservation to elderly daily care. Although artificial actuators have reached the contraction performances of muscles, th...
