Designing and Creating a Mouse Using Nature-Inspired Shapes

Human beings have always made their tools and instruments they need using patterns in nature. Mimicking nature has become the foundation of a new science called Biomimetics. In the present article, multiple forms and levels in nature were utilized to design and create a mouse. The rivers are a good source for choosing the shape of a mouse with lots of stones abraded through the centuries which ...

Neurorobotics: Neurobiologically Inspired Robots

Neurorobots1 are robotic devices that have control systems based on principles of the nervous system. These models operate on the premise that the “brain is embodied and the body is embedded in the environment.” Therefore, neurorobots are grounded and situated in a real environment. The real environment is required for two reasons. First, simulating an environment can introduce unwanted and uni...

Insect Inspired Robots

Insect behaviour has been a rich source of inspiration for the field of robotics as the perception and navigation problems encountered by autonomous robots are faced also by insects. In this paper, we introduce a research platform, the Insectbot, that was built as a testbed for new biologically-inspired, vision-based algorithms and systems. The Insectbot is a groundbased robot but it is capable...

Nature Inspired System Analysis

The process of cloning variants of a system to accommodate increasing customization is often state of the practice where code duplication is caused by the combination of maintenance problems, high customization, and time pressure. This particular situation motivates the research on similarity analysis of system variants. Similarity determination, variability information recovery, and evolution ...
