A philosophy of minimalist biomimetic robotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present our approach to building intelligent robots, which we call minimalist biomimetic robotics. In this philosophy, biology is used as a source of inspiration and Ockham’s razor is applied to obtain minimal solutions. The goal is to create embodied and situated agents that are efficient at performing their tasks, but have enough redundancy in sensors, actuators and control architecture to be very robust and adaptive. Exploiting physical properties of the world is a key issue, as this often enables simple solutions to work well. Our philosophy was applied in the development of the zeppelin robot Lemon, a lightweight flying robot equipped with several sensor modalities inspired largely on biology.

In order to increase the workspace and the carrying capacity of biomimetic robotics hip joint, a novel biomimetic robotics hip joint was developed. The biomimetic robotics hip joint is mainly composed of a moving platform, frame, and 3-RRR orthogonal spherical parallel mechanism branched chains, and has the characteristics of compact structure, large bearing capacity, high positioning accuracy,...
متن کاملAdvancing Artificial Intelligence through Minimalist Humanoid Robotics
While the robots that most quickly come to mind to the general public are those with the most elaborate features and movements, those that are most useful in advancing the state of the art in artificial intelligence (AI) are very different. Minimalist robots are inexpensive and therefore more broadly available for research and educational purposes, but also force the researcher to rely on good,...
متن کاملStride Period Adaptation of a Biomimetic Running Hexapod
We demonstrate an adaptation strategy for adjusting the stride period in a hexapedal running robot. The robot is inspired by discoveries about the self-stabilizing properties of insects and uses a sprawled posture, a bouncing alternating-tripod gait, and passive compliance and damping in the limbs to achieve fast (over four body-lengths per second), stable locomotion. The robot is controlled by...
