The first biologically inspired robots

Robotica, 2003
Thie first biologically inspired robots, the famous electromechanical tortoises, were designed and built in 1949 by W. Grey Walter. This paper reviews their origins in Walter's theories of the brain and the nature of life, and uses contemporary unpublished notes and photographs to assess their significance then and now.

ANIBOT: Biologically-Inspired Animal Robot

2017
We present the first (to the best of our knowledge) circuit realization of an animal (quadruped) robot controlled by a Central Pattern Generator (CPG) network of neurons, whose model and design are biologically-inspired by the work of Golubitsky et al. (Physica D 115:56–72 (1998)), [148], (J Math Biol 42: 291–326 (2001)), [61], (J Math Biol 42:327–346 (

Biological inspiration used for robots motion synthesis

Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2009
This work presents a biologically inspired method of gait generation. Bipedal gait pattern (for hip and knee joints) was taken into account giving the reference trajectories in a learning task. The four coupled oscillators were taught to generate the outputs similar to those in a human gait.

Biologically Inspired Intelligent Robots using Artificial Muscles

Strain, 2004
Humans throughout history have always sought to mimic the appearance, mobility, functionality, intelligent operation, and thinking process of biological creatures. This field of biologically inspired technology, having the moniker biomimetics, has evolved from making static copies of human and animals in the form of statues to the emergence of robots ...

The deformatron robot: a biologically inspired homogeneous modular robot

Proceedings 2006 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006. ICRA 2006., 2006
The Deformatron robot is a homogeneous, modular robot. The Deformatron modules can play one of three roles in the physical structure of the robot: bone, tendon, and muscle. These roles are inspired by their biological counterparts. This combination of roles gives us a modular robot which potentially may have enough structural strength and actuation ...

Biologically-Inspired Visual Landmark Learning for Mobile Robots

2000
This paper presents a biologically-inspired method for selecting visual landmarks which are suitable for navigating within not pre-engineered environments. A landmark is a region of the goal image which is chosen according to its reliability measured through a phase called Turn Back and Look (TBL).

A Biologically-Inspired Autonomous Robot

1993
Abstract : A treadmill has been developed to support our cockroach locomotion studies. We have developed a small treadmill with a transparent belt for studying leg joint movements along with EMGs as the animal walks or runs at various speeds. This allows us to match the electrical activity in muscles with the kinematics of joint movement.

Biologically Inspired Robot Control Architecture

2011
Robot control architectures are related to sensing, monitoring, and acting actions of the robots. They are an important part of each robot control and the coordination of their behaviors. There are different kinds of robotic architectures implemented by different kinds of robots.

Biologically inspired mobile robot vision localization

2015
The problem of localization is central to endowing mobile machines with intelligence. Vision is a promising research path because of its versatility and robustness in most unconstrained environments, both indoors and outdoors. Today, with many available studies in human vision, there is a unique opportunity to develop systems that take inspiration from
