A compliant-parallel mechanism with bio-inspired compliant joints for high precision assembly robot

In this paper, we describe a study on compliant-parallel (C-P) mechanism with high precision and wide range of working area using bio-inspired compliant joints. C-P mechanism is a parallel mechanism in which all of joints are composed by wide deformable compliant joints. In the integration of the compliant joint and the parallel mechanism, a deformation of the compliant joint can be guided by m...

Designing Bio-Inspired Composite Materials for Medical Applications

Composite materials are multi-phased combinations of two or several components, which acquire new characteristic properties that the individual constituents, by themselves, cannot obtain. A composite material typically consists of a certain matrix containing one or more fillers which can be made up of particles, sheets or fibers. When at least one of these phases has dimensions less than 100 nm...

Soft network composite materials with deterministic and bio-inspired designs

Hard and soft structural composites found in biology provide inspiration for the design of advanced synthetic materials. Many examples of bio-inspired hard materials can be found in the literature; far less attention has been devoted to soft systems. Here we introduce deterministic routes to low-modulus thin film materials with stress/strain responses that can be tailored precisely to match the...

Bio Inspired Technique to Improve the Performance of VANETs

The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network, or VANET, is an expertise that usages moving cars as nodes in a network to generate a moveable network. VANET turns each contributing car into a wireless router or node, permitting cars roughly 100 to 300 meters of each other to associate and, consecutively, form a network with an extensive range. Since vehicular ad hoc networks require the transmission of the safe...
