Modern bio-inspired robotic fish design increasingly focuses on integrating biological inspiration with engineering-oriented structural solutions to enhance locomotion performance and meet practical application demands. Among these, the crank-linkage...
Latch-mediated spring actuation systems leverage the interplay of springs and latches to rapidly accelerate a load. In biological systems, elastic energy is often distributed across multiple structures, resulting in forces applied from multiple sprin...
The Ocean Sunfish () has one of the most unusual body geometries and swimming strategies of all fish species. Effectively lacking a caudal fin, these fish propel themselves by synchronized flapping of their extremely long dorsal and anal fins-a form ...
Salps are underwater invertebrates considered to be among the world's most energy-efficient examples of jet propulsion. They can swim as solitary individuals or as physically connected colonies, coordinating their jets to produce collective movement....
To enhance the motion flexibility and environmental adaptability of underwater robots, this study proposes a novel design, Seeker-M, inspired by the locomotion mechanism of the mantis shrimp. The robot imitates the mantis shrimp's multi-pleopod swimm...
This article proposes a novel approach for vibration-based gearbox fault diagnosis using a multi-scale convolutional neural network with depth-wise feature concatenation named MixNet. In industrial environments where equipment reliability directly im...
In response to the urgent issues faced by current bionic undulating fin robot propulsion mechanisms, such as low working efficiency, insufficient swimming speed, ignoring thickness parameters, and the need for further improvement in biomimetic degree...
The relationship between morphology and locomotion performance in amphibious fish remains poorly understood, particularly in axial-appendage-based and appendage-based movements. To address this, we introduce Polymander, a reconfigurable robot capable...
Animal-robot interaction (ARI) is an emerging field that uses biomimetic robots to replicate biological cues, enabling controlled studies of animal behavior. This study investigates the potential for ARI systems to induce local enhancement (e.g. wher...
This study presents a new design for a multi-degree-of-freedom underdriven mechanism. The aim is to achieve efficient bionic motion of a sea turtle hydrofoil with multi-degrees-of-freedom using a single drive source. The design focuses on the kinemat...
