A Biologically Inspired, Functionally Graded End Effector for Soft Robotics Applications.

Soft robotics Oct 12, 2017
Soft robotic actuators offer many advantages over their rigid counterparts, but they often are unable to apply highly localized point loads. In contrast, many invertebrates have not only evolved extremely strong "hybrid appendages" that are composed ...

UAS stealth: target pursuit at constant distance using a bio-inspired motion camouflage guidance law.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 21, 2017
The aim of this study is to derive a guidance law by which an unmanned aerial system(s) (UAS) can pursue a moving target at a constant distance, while concealing its own motion. We derive a closed-form solution for the trajectory of the UAS by imposi...

Optimal pitching axis location of flapping wings for efficient hovering flight.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 1, 2017
Flapping wings can pitch passively about their pitching axes due to their flexibility, inertia, and aerodynamic loads. A shift in the pitching axis location can dynamically alter the aerodynamic loads, which in turn changes the passive pitching motio...
