Phenotypic Plasticity Provides a Bioinspiration Framework for Minimal Field Swarm Robotics [PDF]
, 2020 The real world is highly variable and unpredictable, and so fine-tuned robot controllers that successfully result in group-level “emergence” of swarm capabilities indoors may quickly become inadequate outside.

Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Entwicklung eines neuartigen Frühbeets auf der Basis von Bioinspiration
, 2021 Die Anzucht von Gemüse in herkömmlichen Frühbeetkästen birgt so manche Probleme. Der Zugang zur Beetfläche ist mühsam, die zum Lüften geöffneten Fenster lassen sich nur in be-stimmten Positionen arretieren und sind anfällig dafür, vom Wind beschädigt ...

On the Aerodynamic Analysis and Conceptual Design of Bioinspired Multi-Flapping-Wing Drones
Drones, 2021 Many research studies have investigated the characteristics of bird flights as a source of bioinspiration for the design of flapping-wing micro air vehicles. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no drone design targeted the exploitation of the
