Planar maneuvering control of underwater snake robots using virtual holonomic constraints.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 24, 2016
This paper investigates the problem of planar maneuvering control for bio-inspired underwater snake robots that are exposed to unknown ocean currents. The control objective is to make a neutrally buoyant snake robot which is subject to hydrodynamic f...
Improving actuation efficiency through variable recruitment hydraulic McKibben muscles: modeling, orderly recruitment control, and experiments.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 3, 2016
Hydraulic control systems have become increasingly popular as the means of actuation for human-scale legged robots and assistive devices. One of the biggest limitations to these systems is their run time untethered from a power source. One way to inc...
Methodology for designing and manufacturing complex biologically inspired soft robotic fluidic actuators: prosthetic hand case study.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 31, 2016
We present a novel methodology for the design and manufacture of complex biologically inspired soft robotic fluidic actuators. The methodology is applied to the design and manufacture of a prosthetic for the hand. Real human hands are scanned to prod...
Bioinspired decision architectures containing host and microbiome processing units.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 27, 2016
Biomimetic robots have been used to explore and explain natural phenomena ranging from the coordination of ants to the locomotion of lizards. Here, we developed a series of decision architectures inspired by the information exchange between a host or...
Froghopper-inspired direction-changing concept for miniature jumping robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 14, 2016
To improve the maneuverability and agility of jumping robots, several researchers have studied steerable jumping mechanisms. This steering ability enables robots to reach a particular target by controlling their jumping direction. To this end, we pro...
A Novel Hybrid Clonal Selection Algorithm with Combinatorial Recombination and Modified Hypermutation Operators for Global Optimization.
Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Sep 8, 2016
Artificial immune system is one of the most recently introduced intelligence methods which was inspired by biological immune system. Most immune system inspired algorithms are based on the clonal selection principle, known as clonal selection algorit...
Miniaturized soft bio-hybrid robotics: a step forward into healthcare applications.
Lab on a chip
Aug 23, 2016
Soft robotics is an emerging discipline that employs soft flexible materials such as fluids, gels and elastomers in order to enhance the use of robotics in healthcare applications. Compared to their rigid counterparts, soft robotic systems have flexi...
Human-like compliant locomotion: state of the art of robotic implementations.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 22, 2016
This review paper provides a synthetic yet critical overview of the key biomechanical principles of human bipedal walking and their current implementation in robotic platforms. We describe the functional role of human joints, addressing in particular...
Theoretical and experimental study on a compliant flipper-leg during terrestrial locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 17, 2016
An amphibious robot with straight compliant flipper-legs can conquer various amphibious environments. The robot can rotate its flipper-legs and utilize their large deflection to walk on rough terrain, and it can oscillate the straight flipper-legs to...
The Role of Audio-Visual Feedback in a Thought-Based Control of a Humanoid Robot: A BCI Study in Healthy and Spinal Cord Injured People.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 3, 2016
The efficient control of our body and successful interaction with the environment are possible through the integration of multisensory information. Brain-computer interface (BCI) may allow people with sensorimotor disorders to actively interact in th...
