Recurrent neural networks for hydrodynamic imaging using a 2D-sensitive artificial lateral line.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jul 11, 2019
The lateral line is a mechanosensory organ found in fish and amphibians that allows them to sense and act on their near-field hydrodynamic environment. We present a 2D-sensitive artificial lateral line (ALL) comprising eight all-optical flow sensors,...

Living Materials Herald a New Era in Soft Robotics.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.) Jul 3, 2019
Living beings have an unsurpassed range of ways to manipulate objects and interact with them. They can make autonomous decisions and can heal themselves. So far, a conventional robot cannot mimic this complexity even remotely. Classical robots are of...
