Multibody system dynamics for bio-inspired locomotion: from geometric structures to computational aspects.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This article presents a set of generic tools for multibody system dynamics devoted to the study of bio-inspired locomotion in robotics. First, archetypal examples from the field of bio-inspired robot locomotion are presented to prepare the ground for...

Performance analysis of jump-gliding locomotion for miniature robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Recent work suggests that jumping locomotion in combination with a gliding phase can be used as an effective mobility principle in robotics. Compared to pure jumping without a gliding phase, the potential benefits of hybrid jump-gliding locomotion in...

Running up a wall: the role and challenges of dynamic climbing in enhancing multi-modal legged systems.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Animals have demonstrated the ability to move through, across and over some of the most daunting environments on earth. This versatility and adaptability stems from their capacity to alter their locomotion dynamics and employ disparate locomotion mod...

Goal-directed multimodal locomotion through coupling between mechanical and attractor selection dynamics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
One of the most significant challenges in bio-inspired robotics is how to realize and take advantage of multimodal locomotion, which may help robots perform a variety of tasks adaptively in different environments. In order to address the challenge pr...

Novel Uses of In Vitro Data to Develop Quantitative Biological Activity Relationship Models for in Vivo Carcinogenicity Prediction.

Molecular informatics
The availability of large in vitro datasets enables better insight into the mode of action of chemicals and better identification of potential mechanism(s) of toxicity. Several studies have shown that not all in vitro assays can contribute as equal p...

Folding in and out: passive morphing in flapping wings.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We present a new mechanism for passive wing morphing of flapping wings inspired by bat and bird wing morphology. The mechanism consists of an unactuated hand wing connected to the arm wing with a wrist joint. Flapping motion generates centrifugal acc...

Quadrupedal galloping control for a wide range of speed via vertical impulse scaling.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents a bio-inspired quadruped controller that allows variable-speed galloping. The controller design is inspired by observations from biological runners. Quadrupedal animals increase the vertical impulse that is generated by ground rea...

A new machine learning approach for predicting the response to anemia treatment in a large cohort of End Stage Renal Disease patients undergoing dialysis.

Computers in biology and medicine
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) anemia is one of the main common comorbidities in patients undergoing End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Iron supplement and especially Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESA) have become the treatment of choice for that ane...

Modelling the longevity of dental restorations by means of a CBR system.

BioMed research international
The lifespan of dental restorations is limited. Longevity depends on the material used and the different characteristics of the dental piece. However, it is not always the case that the best and longest lasting material is used since patients may pre...

Automated colon cancer detection using hybrid of novel geometric features and some traditional features.

Computers in biology and medicine
Automatic classification of colon into normal and malignant classes is complex due to numerous factors including similar colors in different biological constituents of histopathological imagery. Therefore, such techniques, which exploit the textural ...
