Deep learning pose detection model for sow locomotion.

Scientific reports
Lameness affects animal mobility, causing pain and discomfort. Lameness in early stages often goes undetected due to a lack of observation, precision, and reliability. Automated and non-invasive systems offer precision and detection ease and may impr...

Intelligent Rock-Climbing Robot Capable of Multimodal Locomotion and Hybrid Bioinspired Attachment.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Rock-climbing robots have significant potential in fieldwork and planetary exploration. However, they currently face limitations such as a lack of stability and adaptability on extreme terrains, slow locomotion, and single functionality. This study i...

Bio-inspired design of hard-bodied mobile robots based on arthropod morphologies: a 10 year systematic review and bibliometric analysis.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This research presents a 10-year systematic review based on bibliometric analysis of the bio-inspired design of hard-bodied mobile robot mechatronic systems considering the anatomy of arthropods. These are the most diverse group of animals whose flex...

On the analysis and control of a bipedal legged locomotion model via partial feedback linearization.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this study, we introduce a new model for bipedal locomotion that enhances the classical spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model. Our proposed model incorporates a damping term in the leg spring, a linear actuator serially interconnected to th...

Wall-climbing performance of gecko-inspired robot with soft feet and digits enhanced by gravity compensation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Gravitational forces can induce deviations in body posture from desired configurations in multi-legged arboreal robot locomotion with low leg stiffness, affecting the contact angle between the swing leg's end-effector and the climbing surface during ...

Comparison of water and terrestrial jumping in natural and robotic insects.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
Jumping requires high actuation power for achieving high speed in a short time. Especially, organisms and robots at the insect scale jump in order to overcome size limits on the speed of locomotion. As small jumpers suffer from intrinsically small po...

Oscillating latent dynamics in robot systems during walking and reaching.

Scientific reports
Sensorimotor control of complex, dynamic systems such as humanoids or quadrupedal robots is notoriously difficult. While artificial systems traditionally employ hierarchical optimisation approaches or black-box policies, recent results in systems neu...

Design and control of jumping microrobots with torque reversal latches.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jumping microrobots and insects power their impressive leaps through systems of springs and latches. Using springs and latches, rather than motors or muscles, as actuators to power jumps imposes new challenges on controlling the performance of the ju...

Nodes for modes: nodal honeycomb metamaterial enables a soft robot with multimodal locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft-bodied animals, such as worms and snakes, use many muscles in different ways to traverse unstructured environments and inspire tools for accessing confined spaces. They demonstrate versatility of locomotion which is essential for adaptation to c...
