Dynamic traversal of large gaps by insects and legged robots reveals a template.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2018
It is well known that animals can use neural and sensory feedback via vision, tactile sensing, and echolocation to negotiate obstacles. Similarly, most robots use deliberate or reactive planning to avoid obstacles, which relies on prior knowledge or ...
Body-terrain interaction affects large bump traversal of insects and legged robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 2, 2018
Small animals and robots must often rapidly traverse large bump-like obstacles when moving through complex 3D terrains, during which, in addition to leg-ground contact, their body inevitably comes into physical contact with the obstacles. However, we...
Thought-Controlled Nanoscale Robots in a Living Host.
PloS one
Aug 15, 2016
We report a new type of brain-machine interface enabling a human operator to control nanometer-size robots inside a living animal by brain activity. Recorded EEG patterns are recognized online by an algorithm, which in turn controls the state of an e...
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 ...
Recent Progress in the Physical Principles of Dynamic Ground Self-Righting.
Integrative and comparative biology
Sep 27, 2024
Animals and robots must self-right on the ground after overturning. Biology research has described various strategies and motor patterns in many species. Robotics research has devised many strategies. However, we do not well understand the physical p...
The long-acting walking control of a cockroach bio-bot for vision-aided pipeline navigation.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2023
Many small bionic crawling robots have been invented for search and rescue missions in narrow spaces. However, their locomotion capability is far from that of insects of the same size. Transforming a cockroach into a bio-bot has been a hot topic in t...
Cyborg Insects Could Someday Save Your Life.
IEEE pulse
Jan 1, 2019
A tiny cockroach no bigger than a large paper clip scurries across the floor of my bio-engineering lab at the University of Connecticut, Mansfield, CT, USA. It is a robot-roach hybrid, a hardwired biological insect, a cyborg if you will, and its futu...
Preliminary statistical assessment towards characterization of biobotic control.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Aug 1, 2016
Biobotic research involving neurostimulation of instrumented insects to control their locomotion is finding potential as an alternative solution towards development of centimeter-scale distributed swarm robotics. To improve the reliability of bioboti...
Locomotion control of hybrid cockroach robots.
Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Apr 6, 2015
Natural systems retain significant advantages over engineered systems in many aspects, including size and versatility. In this research, we develop a hybrid robotic system using American (Periplaneta americana) and discoid (Blaberus discoidalis) cock...
