Biomimetic Soft Robots The combination of photo-thermal effect Au and the mismatch between thermal expansion coefficients LDPE film PI adhesive has enabled design sandwich-structured photo-responsive PI/Au/LDPE nanocomposite film. Thanks to its dexterous geometry design, stable reversible actuation behavior, remote precise driven mode, biomimetic soft robots with pre-engineered functionality co...

The biomimetic synthesis and full structural elucidation of rubicordifolin, a cytotoxic natural product isolated from Rubia cordifolia, is described.

There are several methods of addressing chronic rhinitis (CR), including the use of various drugs and medications. However, other non-pharmacological methods of improving paranasal function have recently become available, such as balloon sinuplasty. This case report describes the resolution of CR in a 12 yr. old girl, using biomimetic oral appliance therapy (BOAT). In this case, treatment was c...

We report an approach for fabricating biomimetic surface replicas of cells with nanoscale resolution. Fixed cells serve as a template for a two-stage replica molding process. Cast from the template, the impression replica contains a reproduction of cellular topographical features indented into its surface, and cast from the impression replica, the relief replica contains a copy of these feature...

Bridging superstructures added to small azamacrocycles, through the accompanying additional topological constraint, enhance the characteristic that makes azamacrocycles indispensable ligands for transition metal coordination including biomimetic chemistry: high complex stability. This review begins by briefly revisiting the coordination chemistry concepts leading to this advantage over less top...

This paper describes several models that incorporate some biomimetic mechanisms into the control architecture of an animat that has to survive in a changing environment. The adaptive capacities of these mechanisms are compared to engineering solutions, in application domains that involve navigation, action selection, and evolutionary design. It is argued that, although impressive adaptive capac...

We introduce our active experts' communications and reviews (Part II) of 2015 Korea-China Joint Symposium on Biomimetic Medical Materials in Republic of Korea, which reflect their perspectives on current research trends of biomimetic medical materials for tissue regeneration in both Korea and China. The communications covered three topics of biomimetics, i.e., 1) hydrogel for therapeutics and e...

A new model of pattern recognition principles—Biomimetic Pattern Recognition, which is based on “matter cognition” instead of “matter classification”, has been proposed. As a important means realizing Biomimetic Pattern Recognition, the mathematical model and analyzing method of ANN get breakthrough: a novel all-purpose mathematical model has been advanced, which can simulate all kinds of neuro...

background: three-dimensional (3d) biomimetic nanofiber scaffolds have widespread applications in biomedical tissue engineering. they provide a suitable environment for cellular adhesion, survival, proliferation and differentiation, guide new tissue formation and development, and are one of the outstanding goals of tissue engineering. electrospinning has recently emerged as a leading technique ...

Recursive modelling for the kinematics and dynamics of the known 3-PRR planar parallel robot is established in this paper. Three identical planar legs connecting to the moving platform are located in a vertical plane. Knowing themotion of the platform,we develop first the inverse kinematics and determine the positions, velocities and accelerations of the robot. Further, the principle of virtual...
