Bionic flapping wing robots achieve flight by imitating animal flapping wings, which are safe, flexible, and efficient. Their practicality and human-machine symbiosis in narrow and complex environments are better than traditional fixed-wing or multir...
Earthworm-like robots have excellent locomotion capability in confined environments. Central pattern generator (CPG) based controllers utilize the dynamics of coupled nonlinear oscillators to spontaneously generate actuation signals for all segments,...
When the beetle lands on the target, the hind wings fold regularly to form smaller wing packages and are hidden on the ventral side of the elytra due to the interaction between the elytra and abdomen. Its complex folding pattern is attributed to the ...
Skeletal muscle is the main actuator of various families of vertebrates (mammals, fish, reptiles). It displays remarkable robustness to micro-damage, that supposedly originates both from its redundant hierarchical structure and its nervous command. A...
Efficient propulsion has been a central focus of research in the field of biomimetic underwater vehicles. Compared to the prevalent fish-like reciprocating flapping propulsion mode, the sperm-like helical propulsion mode features higher efficiency an...
This paper describes the tailless control system design of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle in a four-winged configuration, which can provide high control authority to be stable and agile in flight conditions from hovering to maneuvering flights. Th...
The cable-driven hyper-redundant manipulator (CDHM), distinguished by its high flexibility and adjustable stiffness, is extensively utilized in confined and obstacle-rich environments such as aerospace and nuclear facilities. This paper introduces a ...
Micro-sensors, such as pressure and flow sensors, are usually adopted to attain actual fluid information around swimming biomimetic robotic fish for hydrodynamic analysis and control. However, most of the reported micro-sensors are mounted discretely...
The prognostics and health management disciplines provide an efficient solution to improve a system's durability, taking advantage of its lifespan in functionality before a failure appears. Prognostics are performed to estimate the system or subsyste...
This study proposes a new intelligent diagnostic method for bearing faults in rotating machinery. The method uses a combination of nonlinear mode decomposition based on the improved fast kurtogram, gramian angular field, and convolutional neural netw...
