Optimizing Biomimetic 3D Disordered Fibrous Network Structures for Lightweight, High-Strength Materials via Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
3D disordered fibrous network structures (3D-DFNS), such as cytoskeletons, collagen matrices, and spider webs, exhibit remarkable material efficiency, lightweight properties, and mechanical adaptability. Despite their widespread in nature, the integr...

Multidimensional free shape-morphing flexible neuromorphic devices with regulation at arbitrary points.

Nature communications
Biological neural systems seamlessly integrate perception and action, a feat not efficiently replicated in current physically separated designs of neural-imitating electronics. This segregation hinders coordination and functionality within the neurom...

Shape Anisotropy-Dependent Leaking in Magnetic Neurons for Bio-Mimetic Neuromorphic Computing.

ACS nano
Spiking neural networks seek to emulate biological computation through interconnected artificial neuron and synapse devices. Spintronic neurons can leverage magnetization physics to mimic biological neuron functions, such as integration tied to magne...

A bioinspired fish fin webbing for proprioceptive feedback.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The propulsive fins of ray-finned fish are used for large scale locomotion and fine maneuvering, yet also provide sensory feedback regarding hydrodynamic loading and the surrounding environment. This information is gathered via nerve cells in the web...

A pack hunting strategy for heterogeneous robots in rescue operations.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This study focuses on improving coordination among teams of heterogeneous robots, including unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles, drawing inspiration from natural pack-hunting strategies. The goal is to increase the effectiveness of ...

Fluidic feedback for soft actuators: an electronic-free system for sensing and control.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The field of pneumatic soft robotics is on the rise. However, most pneumatic soft robots still heavily rely on rigid valves and conventional electronics for control, which detracts from their natural flexibility and adaptability. Efforts have focused...

MOF-Based Biomimetic Enzyme Microrobots for Efficient Detection of Total Antioxidant Capacity of Fruits and Vegetables.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Green and efficient total antioxidant capacity (TAC) detection is significant for healthy diet and disease prevention. This work first proposed the concept of TAC colorimetric detection based on microrobots. A novel metal-organic framework (MOF)-base...

Multibody system dynamics for bio-robotic design and simulation based on inching-locomotion caterpillar's gait: MBD-ILAR method.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) inspire the design of 'inch-worm' robots with biomimicry features, that can be adapted to different environments, such as natural, man-made, or other planets. Therefore, this work defines a novel mathematical me...

Two-Terminal Neuromorphic Devices for Spiking Neural Networks: Neurons, Synapses, and Array Integration.

ACS nano
The ever-increasing volume of complex data poses significant challenges to conventional sequential global processing methods, highlighting their inherent limitations. This computational burden has catalyzed interest in neuromorphic computing, particu...
