Insect Bio-inspired Neural Network Provides New Evidence on How Simple Feature Detectors Can Enable Complex Visual Generalization and Stimulus Location Invariance in the Miniature Brain of Honeybees.
PLoS computational biology
Feb 3, 2017
The ability to generalize over naturally occurring variation in cues indicating food or predation risk is highly useful for efficient decision-making in many animals. Honeybees have remarkable visual cognitive abilities, allowing them to classify vis...
Bio-inspired annelid robot: a dielectric elastomer actuated soft robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 31, 2017
Biologically inspired robots with inherent softness and body compliance increasingly attract attention in the field of robotics. Aimed at solving existing problems with soft robots, regarding actuation technology and biological principles, this paper...
Bio-inspired vision based robot control using featureless estimations of time-to-contact.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 31, 2017
Marvelous vision based dynamic behaviors of insects and birds such as perching, landing, and obstacle avoidance have inspired scientists to propose the idea of time-to-contact, which is defined as the time for a moving observer to contact an object o...
Neuromorphic meets neuromechanics, part II: the role of fusimotor drive.
Journal of neural engineering
Jan 17, 2017
OBJECTIVE: We studied the fundamentals of muscle afferentation by building a Neuro-mechano-morphic system actuating a cadaveric finger. This system is a faithful implementation of the stretch reflex circuitry. It allowed the systematic exploration of...
Neuromorphic meets neuromechanics, part I: the methodology and implementation.
Journal of neural engineering
Jan 13, 2017
OBJECTIVE: One goal of neuromorphic engineering is to create 'realistic' robotic systems that interact with the physical world by adopting neuromechanical principles from biology. Critical to this is the methodology to implement the spinal circuitry ...
Soft Modular Robotic Cubes: Toward Replicating Morphogenetic Movements of the Embryo.
PloS one
Jan 6, 2017
In this paper we present a new type of simple, pneumatically actuated, soft modular robotic system that can reproduce fundamental cell behaviors observed during morphogenesis; the initial shaping stage of the living embryo. The fabrication method use...
A plant-inspired robot with soft differential bending capabilities.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 20, 2016
We present the design and development of a plant-inspired robot, named Plantoid, with sensorized robotic roots. Natural roots have a multi-sensing capability and show a soft bending behaviour to follow or escape from various environmental parameters ...
Human-in-the-loop active electrosense.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 20, 2016
Active electrosense is a non-visual, short range sensing system used by weakly electric fish, enabling such fish to locate and identify objects in total darkness. Here we report initial findings from the use of active electrosense for object localiza...
Insect-controlled Robot: A Mobile Robot Platform to Evaluate the Odor-tracking Capability of an Insect.
Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Dec 19, 2016
Robotic odor source localization has been a challenging area and one to which biological knowledge has been expected to contribute, as finding odor sources is an essential task for organism survival. Insects are well-studied organisms with regard to ...
Investigation of Collective Behaviour and Electrocommunication in the Weakly Electric Fish, Mormyrus rume, through a biomimetic Robotic Dummy Fish.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 1, 2016
A robotic fish has been developed to create a mixed bio-hybrid system made up of weakly electric fish and a mobile dummy fish. Weakly electric fish are capable of interacting with each other via sequences of self-generated electric signals during ele...
