Vorticella: A Protozoan for Bio-Inspired Engineering
In this review, we introduce Vorticella as a model biological micromachine for microscale engineering systems. Vorticella has two motile organelles: the oral cilia of the zooid and the contractile spasmoneme in the stalk. The oral cilia beat periodically, generating a water flow that translates food particles toward the animal at speeds in the order of 0.1–1 mm/s. The ciliary flow of Vorticella...
متن کاملNanostructures and Bio-inspired Computer Engineering
Nanoelectronics is the development of electronic devices with dimensions between one and ten nanometers. If Moore’s law continues to hold, it could be possible to construct Avogadro Computer, i.e. an architecture that efficiently employs 10 elements to perform computation, sometimes about 2020 [3]. Shorter-time prediction says that chips will contain 10 transistors and will operate at 10-15 GHz...
متن کاملBio-inspired paradigms in Network Engineering Games
Network Engineering Games (NEGs) is a new emmerging branch of game theory that has been developing in Electrical Engineering Departments. It concerns games that arise in all levels of telecommunication networks. There has been a growing interest among researchers in this community in bio-inspired methodologies in recent years. This is due to two reasons. First, many problems in networking have ...
متن کاملOsteogenic cells on bio-inspired materials for bone tissue engineering.
This article reviews the development of artificial bone substitutes from their older single-phase forms to novel multi-phase composites, mimicking the composition and architecture of natural bone tissue. The new generation of bone implants should be bioactive, i.e. they should induce the desired cellular responses, leading to integration of the material into the natural tissue and stimulating s...
متن کاملSpatial Mapping and Map Exploitation: A Bio-inspired Engineering Perspective
Probabilistic robot mapping techniques can produce high resolution, accurate maps of large indoor and outdoor environments. However, much less progress has been made towards robots using these maps to perform useful functions such as efficient navigation. This paper describes a pragmatic approach to mapping system development that considers not only the map but also the navigation functionality...
