Achieving bioinspired flapping wing hovering flight solutions on Mars via wing scaling.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Achieving atmospheric flight on Mars is challenging due to the low density of the Martian atmosphere. Aerodynamic forces are proportional to the atmospheric density, which limits the use of conventional aircraft designs on Mars. Here, we show using n...

A Novel Soft Pneumatic Artificial Muscle with High-Contraction Ratio.

Soft robotics
There is a growing interest in soft actuators for human-friendly robotic applications. However, it is very challenging for conventional soft actuators to achieve both a large working distance and high force. To address this problem, we present a high...

Enhanced Robot Speech Recognition Using Biomimetic Binaural Sound Source Localization.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Inspired by the behavior of humans talking in noisy environments, we propose an embodied embedded cognition approach to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for robots in challenging environments, such as with ego noise, using binaural ...

Vector-based navigation using grid-like representations in artificial agents.

Nature
Deep neural networks have achieved impressive successes in fields ranging from object recognition to complex games such as Go. Navigation, however, remains a substantial challenge for artificial agents, with deep neural networks trained by reinforcem...

Locomotion of arthropods in aquatic environment and their applications in robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many bio-inspired robots have been developed so far after careful investigation of animals' locomotion. To successfully apply the locomotion of natural counterparts to robots for efficient and improved mobility, it is essential to understand their pr...

Design and evaluation of a deformable wing configuration for economical hovering flight of an insect-like tailless flying robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Studies on wing kinematics indicate that flapping insect wings operate at higher angles of attack (AoAs) than conventional rotary wings. Thus, effectively flying an insect-like flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) requires appropriate wing design...

Adaptive and Resilient Soft Tensegrity Robots.

Soft robotics
Living organisms intertwine soft (e.g., muscle) and hard (e.g., bones) materials, giving them an intrinsic flexibility and resiliency often lacking in conventional rigid robots. The emerging field of soft robotics seeks to harness these same properti...

A dual caudal-fin miniature robotic fish with an integrated oscillation and jet propulsive mechanism.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents the development of a biomimetic robotic fish that uses an integrated oscillation and jet propulsive mechanism to enable good swimming performance for small robotic fish. The designed robotic fish is driven by two caudal fins that ...

Automated ICD-9 Coding via A Deep Learning Approach.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
ICD-9 (the Ninth Revision of International Classification of Diseases) is widely used to describe a patient's diagnosis. Accurate automated ICD-9 coding is important because manual coding is expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. Inspired by the...

Classifying vortex wakes using neural networks.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Unsteady flows contain information about the objects creating them. Aquatic organisms offer intriguing paradigms for extracting flow information using local sensory measurements. In contrast, classical methods for flow analysis require global knowled...
