A locust-inspired miniature jumping robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Nov 25, 2015
Unmanned ground vehicles are mostly wheeled, tracked, or legged. These locomotion mechanisms have a limited ability to traverse rough terrain and obstacles that are higher than the robot's center of mass. In order to improve the mobility of small rob...

Evolutionary multiobjective design of a flexible caudal fin for robotic fish.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Nov 25, 2015
Robotic fish accomplish swimming by deforming their bodies or other fin-like appendages. As an emerging class of embedded computing system, robotic fish are anticipated to play an important role in environmental monitoring, inspection of underwater s...

Shoulder complex linkage mechanism for humanlike musculoskeletal robot arms.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Nov 5, 2015
The shoulder complex in the human body consists of the scapula, clavicle, humerus, and thorax and bears the load imposed by arm movements while at the same time realizing a wide range of motions. To mimic and exploit its role, several musculoskeletal...

Bio-inspired homogeneous multi-scale place recognition.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society Oct 29, 2015
Robotic mapping and localization systems typically operate at either one fixed spatial scale, or over two, combining a local metric map and a global topological map. In contrast, recent high profile discoveries in neuroscience have indicated that ani...

Phase coordination and phase-velocity relationship in metameric robot locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Oct 29, 2015
This research proposes a new approach for the control of metameric robot locomotion via phase coordination. Unlike previous studies where global wave-like rules were pre-specified to construct the actuation sequence of segments, this phase coordinati...

Physical constraints, fundamental limits, and optimal locus of operating points for an inverted pendulum based actuated dynamic walker.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Oct 26, 2015
The inverted pendulum is a popular model for describing bipedal dynamic walking. The operating point of the walker can be specified by the combination of initial mid-stance velocity (v0) and step angle (φm) chosen for a given walk. In this paper, usi...

How cockroaches exploit tactile boundaries to find new shelters.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Oct 23, 2015
Animals such as cockroaches depend on exploration of unknown environments, and their strategies may inspire robotic approaches. We have previously shown that cockroach behavior, with respect to shelters and the walls of an otherwise empty arena, can ...
