An Experimentation Platform for On-Chip Integration of Analog Neural Networks: A Pathway to Trusted and Robust Analog/RF ICs.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
We discuss the design of an experimentation platform intended for prototyping low-cost analog neural networks for on-chip integration with analog/RF circuits. The objective of such integration is to support various tasks, such as self-test, self-tuni...

Extrinsic finger and thumb muscles command a virtual hand to allow individual finger and grasp control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Fine-wire intramuscular electrodes were used to obtain electromyogram (EMG) signals from six extrinsic hand muscles associated with the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Subjects' EMG activity was used to control a virtual three-degree-of-freedom (DO...

Nanofiber-Based Biomimetic Platforms for Chronic Wound Healing: Recent Innovations and Future Directions.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
BACKGROUND: Wound healing remains a significant challenge in healthcare, particularly for complex and chronic wounds where conventional treatments often fail to provide effective solutions. Recent advances in nanofiber technology have opened new aven...

Ultrasensitive Force-and-Wind Dual-Mode Biomimetic Sensor Based on Mimosa-Motivated Tb@HOF Photoexcited Foam for Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Human Health Monitoring.

Analytical chemistry
Nowadays, developing highly efficient and sensitive flexible optical biomimetic devices for the sensing of physical stimulus still has great challenges. Mimosa, as a sensitive plant, can respond to stimuli, such as touch force and wind blowing with l...

A comprehensive review of dexterous robotic hands: design, implementation, and evaluation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dexterous robotic hands have been a central focus in robotics research, aiming to replicate the versatility and functionality of the human hand. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest advancements in the literature on dexterous r...

Artificial Axon with Dendritic-like Plasticity by Biomimetic Interface Engineering of Anisotropic Two-Dimensional Tellurium.

Nano letters
Spiking neural network (SNN) hardware relies on implicit assumptions that prioritize dendritic/synaptic learning above axon/synaptic concerns, compromising performances in signal capacity, accuracy, and compactness of SNN systems. Herein, we develop ...

From human hand joints to continuum robot: how articular surface morphology shapes flexibility and stability in template-based designs.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The design of continuum robots often involves a dilemma between flexibility and stiffness, where increased flexibility may reduce stiffness and control precision. The human hand achieves both power grasp and precision grasp by leveraging different jo...

Seeing through arthropod eyes: An AI-assisted, biomimetic approach for high-resolution, multi-task imaging.

Science advances
Arthropods have intricate compound eyes and optic neuropils, exhibiting exceptional visual capabilities. Combining the strengths of digital imaging with the features of natural arthropod visual systems offers a promising approach to harness wide-angl...

Bio-inspired multimodal soft grippers: a review.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In nature, organisms have evolved diverse grasping mechanisms to perform vital functions such as hunting and self-defence. These time-tested biological structures, including the arms of octopuses and the trunks of elephants, offer valuable inspiratio...

Bioinspired adaptive visual servoing control for quadrotors.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Since every flight ends in a landing and every landing is a potential crash, deceleration during landing is one of the most critical flying maneuvers. Here we implement a recently-discovered insect visual-guided landing strategy in which the divergen...
