Bio-inspired self-shaping ceramics
Shaping ceramics into complex and intricate geometries using cost-effective processes is desirable in many applications but still remains an open challenge. Inspired by plant seed dispersal units that self-fold on differential swelling, we demonstrate that self-shaping can be implemented in ceramics by programming the material's microstructure to undergo local anisotropic shrinkage during heat ...
متن کاملShaping up plants
is seeing the shape of things to come. In two recent papers, he addresses how cell growth influences the shape of plant organs. The first article, by Utpal Nath, Coen, and colleagues, looks at a quality of leaves often taken for granted—flatness. " Flatness is not a natural outcome of growth, " says Coen. " An organism has to coordinate lots of things to keep leaves flat. " According to the gro...
متن کاملA Bio-Inspired Small-Sized Wall-Climbing Caterpillar Robot
Climbing robots work in a special vertical environment and use mobility against gravity (Zhang, 2007). They are a special potential sub-group of mobile technology. In the recent 15 years, there have been considerable achievements in climbing robot research worldwide by exploring potential applications in hazardous and unmanned environments (Virk, 2005). The typical application of climbing robot...
متن کاملDesign of a Bio-inspired Dynamical Vertical Climbing Robot
This paper reviews a template for dynamical climbing originating in biology, explores its stability properties in a numerical model, and presents empirical data from a physical prototype as evidence of the feasibility of adapting the dynamics of the template to robot that runs vertically upward. The recently proposed pendulous climbing model abstracts remarkable similarities in dynamic wall sca...
متن کاملClimbing Robots in Natural Terrain
This paper presents a general framework for planning the quasi-static motion of climbing robots. The framework is instantiated to compute climbing motions of a three-limbed robot in vertical natural terrain. An example resulting path through a large simulated environment is presented. The planning problem is one of five fundamental challenges to the development of real robotic systems able to c...
