Nanorobot Movement: Challenges and Biologically inspired solutions

Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots of the size of few hundred nanometres and below consisting of components of nanoscale or molecular size. There is an all around development in nanotechnology towards realization of nanorobots in the last two decades. In the present work, the compilation of advancement in nanotechnology in context to nanorobots is done. The challenges...

Biologically inspired solutions to fundamental transportation problems

Traffic congestion in urban areas is an acute problem which is getting worse with the increased urbanization of the world population. The existing approaches to increasing traffic flow in urban areas have proven inefficient as they are expensive and, therefore, not scalable. It is shown in this paper that a biologically inspired new approach could solve some of the fundamental transportation pr...

Biologically Inspired Motor Control for Underactuated Robots: Trends and Challenges

There has been an increasing interest in the study of underactuated robotics toward significant improvement of behavioral performances in robotic systems. The previous studies on underactuated robots have demonstrated energy efficient, maneuverable, and robust motion control by properly exploiting passive dynamics. Despite these fascinating characteristics in underactuated systems, however, the...

Biologically-inspired Adaptive Movement Control for a Quadrupedal Robot

Biologically-inspired robot motion control has attracted a lot of interests because of its potential to make a robot perform better and the value of such study to understand animals’ behaviors. This paper presented a quadrupedal robot, Biosbot, with variety of motion abilities and adaptability to its environment. We employed biological neural mechanisms, such as central pattern generator, flexo...
