Bio-Inspired Design: Aerodynamics of Boxfish

Procedia Engineering, 2015
AbstractThis paper investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a boxfish using both experimental and computational methods. A scaled up model boxfish was manufactured and tested in RMIT Industrial Wind Tunnel under a range of Reynolds numbers and yaw angles. The drag, lift and side forces and their corresponding moments were measured simultaneously. A CAD

Covalent Functionalization of 2D Semiconductors: A Roadmap to Advanced Electronic Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This Review presents recent advances in the covalent functionalization strategies for two‐dimensional semiconductors and their implementation in modern technologies. Layered materials are modified through diverse molecular chemistries (e.g., thiols, diazonium salts, alkyl halides, and electron‐deficient species) to tailor their surface properties ...

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Design and Control of a Bio-Inspired Wheeled Bipedal Robot

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics
Wheeled bipedal robots (WBRs) have the capability to execute agile and versatile locomotion tasks. This paper focuses on improving the dynamic performance of WBRs through innovations in both hardware and software development. Inspired by the human barbell squat, a bionic mechanical design is proposed and implemented as shown in Fig. 1.

Analog Classification of Human Hand Gestures Exploiting Dendritic Integration With an Organic Artificial Soma

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An organic neuromorphic architecture for the classification of human motor behavior is presented and validated. It performs somatic integration by linearly combining the activity from three muscles. An investigation of synaptic weights is presented and discussed in relationship with the classification performance.
