This paper proposes novel methods for making embryonic bio-inspired hardware efficient against faults through self-healing, fault prediction, and fault-prediction assisted self-healing. The proposed self-healing recovers a faulty embryonic cell throu...
The nonlinear dynamics of a bird-like flapping wing robot under randomly uncertain disturbances was studied in this study. The bird-like flapping wing robot was first simplified into a two-rod model with a spring connection. Then, the dynamic model o...

Ionic electromechanically active capacitive laminates are a type of smart material that move in response to electrical stimulation. Due to the soft, compliant and biomimetic nature of this deformation, actuators made of the laminate have received inc...
Soft robots have garnered interest for real-world applications because of their intrinsic safety embedded at the material level. These robots use deformable materials capable of shape and behavioral changes and allow conformable physical contact for ...
Theoretical guarantees of capture become complicated in the case of a swimming fish or fish robot because of the oscillatory nature of the fish heading. Building on the connection between a swimming fish and the canonical Chaplygin sleigh, a novel st...
