The pressing demand for safe and efficient COVID-19 treatments has intensified interest in Natural products, especially those derived from marine organisms. In this study, a bioactive steroidal compound, 5α-cholesta-9(11)-en-3β,20β-diol, was successf...
It is unclear how animals with radial symmetry control locomotion without a brain. Using a combination of experiments, mathematical modeling, and robotics, we tested the extent to which this control emerges in sea stars (Protoreaster nodosus) from th...
As more roboticists are turning to Nature for design inspiration, it is becoming increasingly apparent that multisystem-level investigations of biological processes can frequently lead to unexpected advances in the development of experimental researc...
This paper describes the design, fabrication and locomotion of a starfish robot whose locomotion principle is derived from a starfish. The starfish robot has a number of tentacles or arms extending from its central body in the form of a disk, like th...
