Development of an annelid-like peristaltic crawling soft robot using dielectric elastomer actuators.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The annelid, which consists of several identical segments, exploits its soft structures to move effectively in complex natural environments. Elongation and shortening of different segments produce a reverse peristaltic wave while retractable setae ge...

Deep multiphysics: Coupling discrete multiphysics with machine learning to attain self-learning in-silico models replicating human physiology.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to devise a modelling strategy for attaining in-silico models replicating human physiology and, in particular, the activity of the autonomic nervous system.

Energetic analysis and experiments of earthworm-like locomotion with compliant surfaces.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The energy consumption of worm robots is composed of three parts: heat losses in the motors, internal friction losses of the worm device and mechanical energy locomotion requirements which we refer to as the cost of transport (COT). The COT, which is...
