A soft multi-module manipulator with variable stiffness for minimally invasive surgery.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 26, 2017
This work presents a soft manipulator for minimally invasive surgery inspired by the biological capabilities of the octopus arm. The multi-module arm is composed of three identical units, which are able to move thanks to embedded fluidic actuators th...

Template for the neural control of directed stepping generalized to all legs of MantisBot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jun 8, 2017
We previously developed a neural controller for one leg of our six-legged robot, MantisBot, that could direct locomotion toward a goal by modulating leg-local reflexes with simple descending commands from a head sensor. In this work, we successfully ...

Design of hair-like appendages and comparative analysis on their coordination toward steady and efficient swimming.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 22, 2017
The locomotion of water beetles has been widely studied in biology owing to their remarkable swimming skills. Inspired by the oar-like legs of water beetles, designing a robot that swims under the principle of drag-powered propulsion can lead to high...

Decentralized control scheme for myriapod robot inspired by adaptive and resilient centipede locomotion.

PloS one Feb 2, 2017
Recently, myriapods have attracted the attention of engineers because mobile robots that mimic them potentially have the capability of producing highly stable, adaptive, and resilient behaviors. The major challenge here is to develop a control scheme...

A Robotic Platform to Study the Foreflipper of the California Sea Lion.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE Jan 10, 2017
The California sea lion (Zalophus californianus), is an agile and powerful swimmer. Unlike many successful swimmers (dolphins, tuna), they generate most of their thrust with their large foreflippers. This protocol describes a robotic platform designe...

A water-walking robot mimicking the jumping abilities of water striders.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Oct 21, 2016
The highly efficient and agile water-surface locomotion of water striders has attracted substantial research attention. Compared with imitating the horizontal rowing motion, imitating the jumping capability of water striders is much more challenging ...

Symmetry Analysis of Gait between Left and Right Limb Using Cross-Fuzzy Entropy.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine Feb 24, 2016
The purpose of this paper is the investigation of gait symmetry problem by using cross-fuzzy entropy (C-FuzzyEn), which is a recently proposed cross entropy that has many merits as compared to the frequently used cross sample entropy (C-SampleEn). Fi...

Multi-Instance Deep Learning: Discover Discriminative Local Anatomies for Bodypart Recognition.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging Feb 3, 2016
In general image recognition problems, discriminative information often lies in local image patches. For example, most human identity information exists in the image patches containing human faces. The same situation stays in medical images as well. ...

A locust-inspired miniature jumping robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Nov 25, 2015
Unmanned ground vehicles are mostly wheeled, tracked, or legged. These locomotion mechanisms have a limited ability to traverse rough terrain and obstacles that are higher than the robot's center of mass. In order to improve the mobility of small rob...
