Single actuator wave-like robot (SAW): design, modeling, and experiments.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 1, 2016
In this paper, we present a single actuator wave-like robot, a novel bioinspired robot which can move forward or backward by producing a continuously advancing wave. The robot has a unique minimalistic mechanical design and produces an advancing sine...
Role of Gaze Cues in Interpersonal Motor Coordination: Towards Higher Affiliation in Human-Robot Interaction.
PloS one
Jun 9, 2016
BACKGROUND: The ability to follow one another's gaze plays an important role in our social cognition; especially when we synchronously perform tasks together. We investigate how gaze cues can improve performance in a simple coordination task (i.e., t...
A cortically-inspired model for inverse kinematics computation of a humanoid finger with mechanically coupled joints.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 19, 2016
The human hand's versatility allows for robust and flexible grasping. To obtain such efficiency, many robotic hands include human biomechanical features such as fingers having their two last joints mechanically coupled. Although such coupling enables...
Effect of actuating cell source on locomotion of organic living machines with electrocompacted collagen skeleton.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 9, 2016
In robotics, there is a need for small scale, compliant actuators for use in medical applications or minimally invasive environmental monitoring. Biohybrid devices offer one solution to this need by using muscle cells to actuate compliant scaffolds. ...
Biomimetic Active Touch with Fingertips and Whiskers.
IEEE transactions on haptics
May 6, 2016
This study provides a synthetic viewpoint that compares, contrasts, and draws commonalities for biomimetic perception over a range of tactile sensors and tactile stimuli. Biomimetic active perception is formulated from three principles: (i) evidence ...
Turtle mimetic soft robot with two swimming gaits.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 4, 2016
This paper presents a biomimetic turtle flipper actuator consisting of a shape memory alloy composite structure for implementation in a turtle-inspired autonomous underwater vehicle. Based on the analysis of the Chelonia mydas, the flipper actuator w...
Bio-inspired flexible joints with passive feathering for robotic fish pectoral fins.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 4, 2016
In this paper a novel flexible joint is proposed for robotic fish pectoral fins, which enables a swimming behavior emulating the fin motions of many aquatic animals. In particular, the pectoral fin operates primarily in the rowing mode, while undergo...
Recent advancements in prosthetic hand technology.
Journal of medical engineering & technology
Apr 21, 2016
Recently, significant advances over the past decade have been made in robotics, artificial intelligence and other cognitive related fields, allowing development of highly sophisticated bio-mimetic robotics systems. In addition, enormous number of rob...
Fish-inspired robots: design, sensing, actuation, and autonomy--a review of research.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Apr 13, 2016
Underwater robot designs inspired by the behavior, physiology, and anatomy of fishes can provide enhanced maneuverability, stealth, and energy efficiency. Over the last two decades, robotics researchers have developed and reported a large variety of ...
Bending of Responsive Hydrogel Sheets Guided by Field-Assembled Microparticle Endoskeleton Structures.
Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Mar 10, 2016
Hydrogel composites that respond to stimuli can form the basis of new classes of biomimetic actuators and soft robotic components. Common latex microspheres can be assembled and patterned by AC electric fields within a soft thermoresponsive hydrogel....
