Hydrodynamics of a robotic fish tail: effects of the caudal peduncle, fin ray motions and the flow speed.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Feb 8, 2016
Recent advances in understanding fish locomotion with robotic devices have included the use of biomimetic flapping based and fin undulatory locomotion based robots, treating two locomotions separately from each other. However, in most fish species, p...

Animal-to-robot social attachment: initial requisites in a gallinaceous bird.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Feb 4, 2016
Animal-Robot Interaction experiments have demonstrated their usefulness to understand the social behaviour of a growing number of animal species. In order to study the mechanisms of social influences (from parents and peers) on behavioural developmen...

Energetic analysis and experiments of earthworm-like locomotion with compliant surfaces.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Feb 4, 2016
The energy consumption of worm robots is composed of three parts: heat losses in the motors, internal friction losses of the worm device and mechanical energy locomotion requirements which we refer to as the cost of transport (COT). The COT, which is...

Bi-directional series-parallel elastic actuator and overlap of the actuation layers.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jan 27, 2016
Several robotics applications require high torque-to-weight ratio and energy efficient actuators. Progress in that direction was made by introducing compliant elements into the actuation. A large variety of actuators were developed such as series ela...

RoboFish: increased acceptance of interactive robotic fish with realistic eyes and natural motion patterns by live Trinidadian guppies.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jan 12, 2016
In recent years, simple biomimetic robots have been increasingly used in biological studies to investigate social behavior, for example collective movement. Nevertheless, a big challenge in developing biomimetic robots is the acceptance of the roboti...

Mirrored STDP Implements Autoencoder Learning in a Network of Spiking Neurons.

PLoS computational biology Dec 3, 2015
The autoencoder algorithm is a simple but powerful unsupervised method for training neural networks. Autoencoder networks can learn sparse distributed codes similar to those seen in cortical sensory areas such as visual area V1, but they can also be ...
