Dynamics of Bio-Inspired Pressure Generation

Bio-Inspired Stretchable Absolute Pressure Sensor Network

A bio-inspired absolute pressure sensor network has been developed. Absolute pressure sensors, distributed on multiple silicon islands, are connected as a network by stretchable polyimide wires. This sensor network, made on a 4'' wafer, has 77 nodes and can be mounted on various curved surfaces to cover an area up to 0.64 m × 0.64 m, which is 100 times larger than its original size. Due to Micr...

BIONETS: BIO-inspired NExt generaTion networkS

The amount of information in the new emerging all-embracing pervasive environments will be enormous. Current Internet protocol conceived almost forty years ago, were never planned for these emerging pervasive environments. The communications requirements placed by these protocols on the low cost sensor and tag nodes are in direct contradiction to the fundamental goals if these nodes, being smal...

Automatic Generation of Bio-inspired Retina-Like Processing Hardware

This paper describes a tool devised for automatic design of bioinspired visual processing models using reconfigurable digital hardware. The whole system is indicated for the analysis of vision models, especially those with real–time requirements. We achieve a synthesizable FPGA/ASIC design starting from a high level description of a retina, which is made and simulated through an ad-hoc program....

Bio-inspired Grammatical Inference

The field of Grammatical Inference was originally motivated by the problem of natural language acquisition. However, the formal models proposed within this field have left aside this linguistic motivation. In this paper, we propose to improve models and techniques used in Grammatical Inference by using ideas coming from linguistic studies. In that way, we try to give a new bio-inspiration to th...
