Bioinspired Electronics: Bioinspired Electronics for Artificial Sensory Systems (Adv. Mater. 34/2019)

Bioinspired methodology for artificial olfaction.

Artificial olfaction is a potential tool for noninvasive chemical monitoring. Application of "electronic noses" typically involves recognition of "pretrained" chemicals, while long-term operation and generalization of training to allow chemical classification of "unknown" analytes remain challenges. The latter analytical capability is critically important, as it is unfeasible to pre-expose the ...

Materials and Wireless Microfluidic Systems for Electronics Capable of Chemical Dissolution on Demand (Adv. Funct. Mater. 92015)

Bioinspired Sensor Systems

This editorial summarizes and classifies the contributions presented by different authors to the special issue of the journal Sensors dedicated to Bioinspired Sensor Systems. From the coupling of sensor arrays or networks, plus computer processing abilities, new applications to mimic or to complement human senses are arising in the context of ambient intelligence. Principles used, and illustrat...

Genetic Programming: Artificial Nervous Systems, Artificial Embryos and Embryological Electronics

This paper shows that it is possible to build hyper-complex systems such as an artificial nervous system or an artificial embryo, despite the fact that their interactions or dynamics are (probably) too complicated to be analyzed. Genetic Programming (GP) is "applied evolution", i.e. using the Genetic Algorithm (GA) [GOLDBERG 1989] to evolve hyper-complex systems. Future work using the GP paradi...

Bioinspired Visuovestibular Artificial Perception System for Independent Motion Segmentation

In vision based systems used in mobile robotics and virtual reality systems the perception of self-motion and the structure of the environment is essential. Inertial and earth field magnetic pose sensors can provide valuable data about camera ego-motion, as well as absolute references for structure feature orientations. In this article we present several techniques running on a biologically ins...
