Bio-inspired search strategies for robot swarms
Our goal is as follows: build a suite/swarm of (very) small robots that can search a room for a “target”. We envision that the robots will be about the size of a quarter dollar, or smaller, and have a sensor or sensors that “sniff” out the desired target. For example, the target could be a bomb and the robot sensors would be a chemical detectors that can distinguish the bomb from its surroundin...
متن کاملBio-inspired strategies for designing antifouling biomaterials
Contamination of biomedical devices in a biological medium, biofouling, is a major cause of infection and is entirely avoidable. This mini-review will coherently present the broad range of antifouling strategies, germicidal, preventive and cleaning using one or more of biological, chemical and physical techniques. These techniques will be discussed from the point of view of their ability to inh...
متن کاملEngineered bio-inspired coating for passive flow control
Flow separation and vortex shedding are some of the most common phenomena experienced by bluff bodies under relative motion with the surrounding medium. They often result in a recirculation bubble in regions with adverse pressure gradient, which typically reduces efficiency in vehicles and increases loading on structures. Here, the ability of an engineered coating to manipulate the large-scale ...
متن کاملSTSM Report Fabrication of Bio-inspired surfaces
2.1 Fabrication of microstructures (silicon spikes) Single crystal n-type Si (1 0 0) wafers were subjected to laser irradiation in a vacuum chamber evacuated down to a residual pressure of 10 -2 mbar. A constant pressure of 500 Torr was maintained during the process through a precision micro valve system. The irradiating laser source was constituted by a regenerative amplified Ti:Sapphire (λ = ...
متن کاملAntibacterial surfaces developed from bio-inspired approaches.
Prevention of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on the surfaces of materials is a topic of major medical and societal importance. Various synthetic approaches based on immobilization or release of bactericidal substances such as metal derivatives, polyammonium salts and antibiotics were extensively explored to produce antibacterial coatings. Although providing encouraging results, these ...
