Using a biologically mimicking climbing robot to explore the performance landscape of climbing in lizards.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Locomotion is a key aspect associated with ecologically relevant tasks for many organisms, therefore, survival often depends on their ability to perform well at these tasks. Despite this significance, we have little idea how different performance tas...

Randomness in appendage coordination facilitates strenuous ground self-righting.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Randomness is common in biological and artificial systems, resulting either from stochasticity of the environment or noise in organisms or devices themselves. In locomotor control, randomness is typically considered a nuisance. For example, during dy...

Fully Automated Leg Tracking in Freely Moving Insects using Feature Learning Leg Segmentation and Tracking (FLLIT).

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
The Drosophila model has been invaluable for the study of neurological function and for understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neurodegeneration. While fly techniques for the manipulation and study of neuronal subsets have ...

Variable stiffness morphing limb for amphibious legged robots inspired by chelonian environmental adaptations.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robotic vehicles capable of transition from aquatic to terrestrial locomotion face considerable challenges associated with propulsive efficiency and performance in each environment. Here we present a morphing amphibious robotic limb that combines the...

Decentralized control with cross-coupled sensory feedback between body and limbs in sprawling locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Quadrupeds achieve rapid and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts such as their trunk, head, and tail, i.e. body-limb coordination. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism underlying ...

Synthesis of Electrocardiogram V-Lead Signals From Limb-Lead Measurement Using R-Peak Aligned Generative Adversarial Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Recently, portable electrocardiogram (ECG) hardware devices have been developed using limb-lead measurements. However, portable ECGs provide insufficient ECG information because of limitations in the number of leads and measurement positions. Therefo...

Spatiotemporal gait characteristic changes with gait training using the hybrid assistive limb for chronic stroke patients.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation has been attracting attention as a means to carry out "intensive", "repetitive", "task-specific", gait training. The newly developed robotic device, the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), is thought to have the possibilit...

A Torque-actuated dissipative spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling contact and Its application to hexapod running.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We report on the development and analysis of a new torque-actuated dissipative spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling contact (TDR-SLIP), which is a successor to the previously developed spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling ...

Dynamic traversal of large gaps by insects and legged robots reveals a template.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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 ...
