Machine learning-based optimal design of fibrillar adhesives.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface Feb 26, 2025
Fibrillar adhesion, observed in animals like beetles, spiders and geckos, relies on nanoscopic or microscopic fibrils to enhance surface adhesion via 'contact splitting'. This concept has inspired engineering applications across robotics, transportat...

Design of a bipedal robot for water running based on a six-linkage mechanism inspired by basilisk lizards.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Aug 5, 2024
Legged robots have received widespread attention in academia and engineering owing to their excellent terrain adaptability. However, most legged robots can only adapt to high-hardness environments instead of flexible environments. Expanding the motio...

A Gecko-Inspired Robot with a Flexible Spine Driven by Shape Memory Alloy Springs.

Soft robotics Feb 13, 2023
The majority of sprawling-posture quadrupedal vertebrates, such as geckos and lizards, adopt a cyclical lateral swing pattern of their trunk that is coordinated with limb movements to provide extraordinary flexibility and mobility. Inspired by the ge...

A gecko-inspired robot with CPG-based neural control for locomotion and body height adaptation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Apr 18, 2022
Today's gecko-inspired robots have shown the ability of omnidirectional climbing on slopes with a low centre of mass. However, such an ability cannot efficiently cope with bumpy terrains or terrains with obstacles. In this study, we developed a gecko...

Machine learning accurately predicts the multivariate performance phenotype from morphology in lizards.

PloS one Jan 21, 2022
Completing the genotype-to-phenotype map requires rigorous measurement of the entire multivariate organismal phenotype. However, phenotyping on a large scale is not feasible for many kinds of traits, resulting in missing data that can also cause prob...

Motion Control of a Gecko-like Robot Based on a Central Pattern Generator.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland) Sep 9, 2021
To solve the problem of the motion control of gecko-like robots in complex environments, a central pattern generator (CPG) network model of motion control was designed. The CPG oscillation model was first constructed using a sinusoidal function, resu...

Photo-Detachable Self-Cleaning Surfaces Inspired by Gecko Toepads.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids Jul 2, 2021
Strong, reversible, and self-cleaning adhesion in the toe pads of geckos allow the lizards to climb on a variety of vertical and inverted surfaces, regardless of the surface conditions, whether hydrophobic or hydrophilic, smooth or tough, wet or dry,...
