Mechanical adaptability of artificial muscles from nanoscale molecular action
Nature Communications, 2019 The cooperative motion of artificial molecular machines has led to materials that respond to light with changing shape but also with softening. Here the authors describe a phase-heterogeneous liquid crystal material in which the action of molecular ...

Guided Self-Organization in a Dynamic Embodied System Based on Attractor Selection Mechanism
Entropy, 2014 Guided self-organization can be regarded as a paradigm proposed to understand how to guide a self-organizing system towards desirable behaviors, while maintaining its non-deterministic dynamics with emergent features.

Bio‐inspired synthesis of bio‐hydroxyapatite/synthetic hydroxyapatite hybrid nanosystems
MedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, 2023 The current study focuses on the synthesizing of novel hybrid nanosystems of bio‐hydroxyapatite (BioHAp)/synthetic‐hydroxyapatite (HAp‐Syn). Bio‐HAp was defatted, deproteinized, and then sonicated to obtain nanoparticles (nBioHAp).

The bio-inspired chaotic robot [PDF]
2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2014 Chaos is an interesting phenomenon displayed by non-linear systems that has been used in robotics and found empirically on real robots’ behaviour. This paper presents a formal proof that Braitenberg vehicle 2b, a bio-inspired control mechanism for unicycle robots, behaves as a mass in a potential well.

Bio-inspired fault-tolerance [PDF]
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network Information and Computing Systems (Bionetics 2008), 2008 In the last decade, there has been a considerable increase of interest in fault-tolerant computing due to dependability problems related to process scaling, embedded software, and ubiquitous computing. In this paper, we consider an approach to fault-tolerance which is inspired by gene regulatory networks of living cells.

Developing pervasive multiagent systems with nature-inspired co-ordination [PDF]
, 2015 Pervasive computing systems can be modelled effectively as populations of interacting autonomous components. The key challenge to realizing such models is in getting separately-specified and -developed sub-systems to discover and interoperate with each ...
