Design, fabrication and control of soft robots [PDF]

, 2014
Conventionally, engineers have employed rigid materials to fabricate precise, predictable robotic systems, which are easily modelled as rigid members connected at discrete joints. Natural systems, however, often match or exceed the performance of robotic

Lift-off dynamics in a simple jumping robot [PDF]

, 2012
We study vertical jumping in a simple robot comprising an actuated mass-spring arrangement. The actuator frequency and phase are systematically varied to find optimal performance.

A Mobile Computing Framework for Pervasive Adaptive Platforms

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2011
Ubiquitous computing is now the new computing trend, such systems that interact with their environment require self-adaptability. Bioinspiration is a natural candidate to provide the capability to handle complex and changing scenarios.

Effect of pH and temperature on the morphology and phases of co-precipitated hydroxyapatite [PDF]

, 2012
This paper reports a high-yield process to fabricate biomimetic hydroxyapatite nano-particles or nano-plates. Hydroxyapatite is obtained by simultaneous dripping of calcium chloride and ammonium hydrogen phosphate solutions into a reaction vessel ...

A Tree Swaying in a Turbulent Wind: A Scaling Analysis [PDF]

, 2014
A tentative scaling theory is presented of a tree swaying in a turbulent wind. It is argued that the turbulence of the air within the crown is in the inertial regime. An eddy causes a dynamic bending response of the branches according to a time criterion.

Bioinspired Sensor Systems [PDF]

Sensors, 2011
This editorial summarizes and classifies the contributions presented by different authors to the special issue of the journal Sensors dedicated to Bioinspired Sensor Systems. From the coupling of sensor arrays or networks, plus computer processing abilities, new applications to mimic or to complement human senses are arising in the context of ambient ...
