Fast and programmable locomotion of hydrogel-metal hybrids under light and magnetic fields.

Science robotics
The design of soft matter in which internal fuels or an external energy input can generate locomotion and shape transformations observed in living organisms is a key challenge. Such materials could assist in productive functions that may range from r...

Classification of marine microalgae using low-resolution Mueller matrix images and convolutional neural network.

Applied optics
In this paper, we used a convolutional neural network to study the classification of marine microalgae by using low-resolution Mueller matrix images. Mueller matrix images of 12 species of algae from 5 families were measured by a Mueller matrix micro...

Convolutional neural network-based approach to estimate bulk optical properties in diffuse optical tomography.

Applied optics
Deep learning has been actively investigated for various applications such as image classification, computer vision, and regression tasks, and it has shown state-of-the-art performance. In diffuse optical tomography (DOT), the accurate estimation of ...

Burn wound classification model using spatial frequency-domain imaging and machine learning.

Journal of biomedical optics
Accurate assessment of burn severity is critical for wound care and the course of treatment. Delays in classification translate to delays in burn management, increasing the risk of scarring and infection. To this end, numerous imaging techniques have...

Polarized skylight-based heading measurements: a bio-inspired approach.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Many insects such as desert ants, crickets, locusts, dung beetles, bees and monarch butterflies have been found to extract their navigation cues from the regular pattern of the linearly polarized skylight. These species are equipped with ommatidia in...

Enhancing fluorescent protein photostability through robot-assisted photobleaching.

Integrative biology : quantitative biosciences from nano to macro
Improving fluorescent proteins through the use of directed evolution requires robust techniques for screening large libraries of genetic variants. Here we describe an effective and relatively low-cost system for screening libraries of fluorescent pro...

Evaluation of a new neutron energy spectrum unfolding code based on an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS).

Journal of radiation research
The purpose of the present study was to reconstruct the energy spectrum of a poly-energetic neutron source using an algorithm developed based on an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). ANFIS is a kind of artificial neural network based on t...

Phototactic guidance of a tissue-engineered soft-robotic ray.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Inspired by the relatively simple morphological blueprint provided by batoid fish such as stingrays and skates, we created a biohybrid system that enables an artificial animal--a tissue-engineered ray--to swim and phototactically follow a light cue. ...

Controlled regular locomotion of algae cell microrobots.

Biomedical microdevices
Algae cells can be considered as microrobots from the perspective of engineering. These organisms not only have a strong reproductive ability but can also sense the environment, harvest energy from the surroundings, and swim very efficiently, accommo...

Classification of collective behavior: a comparison of tracking and machine learning methods to study the effect of ambient light on fish shoaling.

Behavior research methods
Traditional approaches for the analysis of collective behavior entail digitizing the position of each individual, followed by evaluation of pertinent group observables, such as cohesion and polarization. Machine learning may enable considerable advan...
