Designing responsive pattern generators: stable heteroclinic channel cycles for modeling and control.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 25, 2015
A striking feature of biological pattern generators is their ability to respond immediately to multisensory perturbations by modulating the dwell time at a particular phase of oscillation, which can vary force output, range of motion, or other charac...
On extracting design principles from biology: II. Case study-the effect of knee direction on bipedal robot running efficiency.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2015
Comparing the leg of an ostrich to that of a human suggests an important question to legged robot designers: should a robot's leg joint bend in the direction of running ('forwards') or opposite ('backwards')? Biological studies cannot answer this que...
On extracting design principles from biology: I. Method-General answers to high-level design questions for bioinspired robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2015
When millions of years of evolution suggest a particular design solution, we may be tempted to abandon traditional design methods and copy the biological example. However, biological solutions do not often translate directly into the engineering doma...
Ultra-fast escape maneuver of an octopus-inspired robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2015
We design and test an octopus-inspired flexible hull robot that demonstrates outstanding fast-starting performance. The robot is hyper-inflated with water, and then rapidly deflates to expel the fluid so as to power the escape maneuver. Using this ro...
Confined swimming of bio-inspired microrobots in rectangular channels.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2015
Controlled swimming of bio-inspired microrobots in confined spaces needs to be understood well for potential use in medical applications in conduits and vessels inside the body. In this study, experimental and computational studies are performed for ...
To err is robotic, to tolerate immunological: fault detection in multirobot systems.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2015
Fault detection and fault tolerance represent two of the most important and largely unsolved issues in the field of multirobot systems (MRS). Efficient, long-term operation requires an accurate, timely detection, and accommodation of abnormally behav...
Tactile surface classification for limbed robots using a pressure sensitive robot skin.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2015
This paper describes an approach to terrain identification based on pressure images generated through direct surface contact using a robot skin constructed around a high-resolution pressure sensing array. Terrain signatures for classification are for...
Stretch reflex improves rolling stability during hopping of a decerebrate biped system.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 19, 2015
When humans hop, attitude recovery can be observed in both the sagittal and frontal planes. While it is agreed that the brain plays an important role in leg placement, the role of low-level feedback (the stretch reflex) on frontal plane stabilization...
A bioinspired multi-modal flying and walking robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 19, 2015
With the aim to extend the versatility and adaptability of robots in complex environments, a novel multi-modal flying and walking robot is presented. The robot consists of a flying wing with adaptive morphology that can perform both long distance fli...
Human-inspired sound environment recognition system for assistive vehicles.
Journal of neural engineering
Jan 14, 2015
OBJECTIVE: The human auditory system acquires environmental information under sound stimuli faster than visual or touch systems, which in turn, allows for faster human responses to such stimuli. It also complements senses such as sight, where direct ...
