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...

Machine-Learning-Based Spectral Modeling: A Biomimetic Guide for Enhancing Esthetics.

Journal of esthetic and restorative dentistry : official publication of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry ... [et al.]
OBJECTIVE: To provide guidelines and means for optimal coverage and distribution of computer models with 1-10 clusters, designed based on an in vivo extensive dental colorimetric database and compare the findings with some reputable shade guides.

A resonant quadruped piezoelectric robot inspired by human butterfly swimming patterns.

Ultrasonics
Piezoelectric micro-robots have gained considerable attention in rescue and medical applications due to their rapid response times and high positioning accuracy. In this paper, inspired by the human butterfly locomotion pattern, we propose a novel re...

Fast ground-to-air transition with avian-inspired multifunctional legs.

Nature
Most birds can navigate seamlessly between aerial and terrestrial environments. Whereas the forelimbs evolved into wings primarily for flight, the hindlimbs serve diverse functions such as walking, hopping and leaping, and jumping take-off for transi...

Bioinspired design and validation of a soft robotic end-effector with integrated shape memory alloy-driven suction capabilities.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The exploration of adaptive robotic systems capable of performing complex tasks in unstructured environments, such as underwater salvage operations, presents a significant challenge. Traditional rigid grippers often struggle with adaptability, wherea...

Analysis and actuation design of a novel at-scale 3-DOF biomimetic flapping-wing mechanism inspired by flying insects.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Insects' flight is imbued with endless mysteries, offering valuable inspiration to the flapping-wing robots. Particularly, the multi-mode wingbeat motion such as flapping, sweeping and twisting in coordination presents advantages in promoting unstead...

Effects of maximum thickness position on hydrodynamic performance for fish-like swimmers.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
When designing the internals of robotic fish, variations in the internal arrangements of power and control systems cause differences in external morphological structures, particularly the positions of maximum thickness. These differences considerably...

Optimization of a passive roll absorber for robotic fish based on tune mass damper.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The robotic fish utilizes a bio-inspired undulatory propulsion system to achieve high swimming performance. However, significant roll motion has been observed at the head when the tail oscillates at certain frequencies, adversely affecting both perce...

Biomimetic Plant-Root-Inspired Robotic Sensor System.

Biosensors
There are many examples in nature in which the ability to detect is combined with decision-making, such as the basic survival instinct of plants and animals to search for food. We can technically translate this innate function via the use of robotics...
