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

Proceedings. Biological sciences Mar 31, 2021
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...

Flexible electromagnetic capturer with a rapid ejection feature inspired by a biological ballistic tongue.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 11, 2020
Bionics is the inspiration resource of state-of-the-art science and technology. The chameleon can capture prey at great distances with the assistance of its highly stretchable and ballistic tongue. Inspired by this biological structure, here we demon...

Manufacturing, Control, and Performance Evaluation of a Gecko-Inspired Soft Robot.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE Jun 10, 2020
This protocol presents a method for manufacturing, control, and evaluation of the performance of a soft robot that can climb inclined flat surfaces with slopes of up to 84°. The manufacturing method is valid for the fast pneunet bending actuators in ...

Recent biological invasion shapes species recognition and aggressive behaviour in a native species: A behavioural experiment using robots in the field.

The Journal of animal ecology Apr 11, 2020
Invasive species are a world-wide threat to biodiversity. Yet, our understanding of biological invasions remains incomplete, partly due to the difficulty of tracking and studying behavioural interactions in recently created species interactions. We t...

A miniaturized wall-climbing segment robot inspired by caterpillar locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Jun 15, 2017
Caterpillars are very successful soft-bodied climbers that navigate in complex environments. This paper develops a multi-segmented robot climbing on vertical surfaces using dry adhesive pads, inspired by caterpillar locomotion. The miniaturized robot...

What Is Morphological Computation? On How the Body Contributes to Cognition and Control.

Artificial life Jan 31, 2017
The contribution of the body to cognition and control in natural and artificial agents is increasingly described as "offloading computation from the brain to the body," where the body is said to perform "morphological computation." Our investigation ...

From "ear" to there: a review of biorobotic models of auditory processing in lizards.

Biological cybernetics Oct 7, 2016
The peripheral auditory system of lizards has been extensively studied, because of its remarkable directionality. In this paper, we review the research that has been performed on this system using a biorobotic approach. The various robotic implementa...
