Morphological Evolution: Bioinspired Methods for Analyzing Bioinspired Robots [PDF]

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
To fully understand the evolution of complex morphologies, analyses cannot stop at selection: It is essential to investigate the roles and interactions of multiple processes that drive evolutionary outcomes. The challenges of undertaking such analyses have affected both evolutionary biologists and evolutionary roboticists, with their common interests ...

Tuneable bioinspired lens [PDF]

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2015
Bioinspired lenses that rely on changes of curvature to achieve focus are interesting candidates for miniaturized tuneable lenses as they require fewer mechanical moving parts compared to their conventional counter-parts. The lens described in this manuscript closely mimics the design and actuation principle of the vertebrate lens.
