Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Strain gauges are attached to biomimetic flapping wings to investigate how wing strain sensors detect wind directions. A convolutional neural network model for wind direction classification is developed through experiments. The results reveal that wind classification is possible with strain data of only 0.2 flapping cycles, and the use of biomimetic ...

Reduced social attention in autism is magnified by perceptual load in naturalistic environments
Autism Research, Volume 15, Issue 12, Page 2310-2323, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) describe differences in both social cognition and sensory processing, but little is known about the causal relationship between these disparate functional domains. In the present study, we sought to understand how a core characteristic of autism—reduced social attention—is impacted by the ...

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Rain increases the energy cost of bat flight [PDF]
, 2011 Similar to insects, birds and pterosaurs, bats have evolved powered flight. But in contrast to other flying taxa, only bats are furry. Here, we asked whether flight is impaired when bat pelage and wing membranes get wet.

Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Soft robotics has seen intense research over the past two decades and offers a promising approach for future robotic applications. However, standard industrial methods may be challenging to apply to soft robots. Recent advances in deep learning provide powerful tools to analyze and design complex soft machines that can operate in unstructured ...

Bat Algorithm for Multi-objective Optimisation [PDF]
Yang, X. S., (2011). Bat Algorithm for Multiobjective
Optimization, Int. J. Bio-Inspired Computation, Vol.3, No.5, pp.267-274, 2012 Engineering optimization is typically multiobjective and multidisciplinary with complex constraints, and the solution of such complex problems requires efficient optimization algorithms. Recently, Xin-She Yang proposed a bat-inspired algorithm for solving nonlinear, global optimisation problems.
