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 کاملFailure Modes of Laminate Structures
Laminate structures composed of alternating thin layers of conductor and dielectric material are commonly used in energy storage and transmission components. The failure of the dielectric layers in regions of high field stress, with applied 60 Hz ac, de and impulse voltages, was studied. Several geometries were compared, including staggered and fiush edges. Electrical trees developed between th...
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...
