Bio-inspired robot design for legged locomotion
Mobile robot designers are increasingly searching for inspirations and design cues from biological models. Although animals are great model for mobile robots, the process of implementation is often ambiguous. The direct implementation of biological features and morphology often becomes ineffective and misleads engineers due to various reasons. Firstly, engineers investigate animals to achieve a...

متن کاملBio-inspired Design of Intelligent Materials
Several examples of sensors and actuators inherent in biological species are reviewed with emphasis on their mechanisms for a given set of stimuli. Examples include, action plants (Venus flytrap, Cucumber tendrils) and bamboo, and algae. Based on theses examples and their mechanisms, we designed artificial actuators, FGM piezo actuators and electroactive polymer actuators.
متن کاملTowards a bio-inspired evaluation methodology for motion estimation models
Offering proper evaluation methodology is essential to continue progress in modelling neural mechanisms in vision/visual information processing. Currently, evaluation of motion estimation models lacks a proper methodology for comparing their performance against the visual system. Here, we set the basis for such a new benchmark methodology which is based on human visual performance as measured i...
متن کاملAutonomous self-healing structural composites with bio-inspired design.
Strong and tough natural composites such as bone, silk or nacre are often built from stiff blocks bound together using thin interfacial soft layers that can also provide sacrificial bonds for self-repair. Here we show that it is possible exploit this design in order to create self-healing structural composites by using thin supramolecular polymer interfaces between ceramic blocks. We have built...
