Animal-Inspired Sensing for Autonomously Climbing or Avoiding Obstacles

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2009
The way that natural systems navigate their environments with agility, intelligence and efficiency is an inspiration to engineers. Biological attributes such as modes of locomotion, sensory modalities, behaviours and physical appearance have been used as

Size-Dictionary Interpolation for Robot's Adjustment

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2015
This paper describes the classification and size-dictionary interpolation of the three-dimensional data obtained by a laser scanner to be used in a realistic virtual fitting room, where automatic activation of the chosen mannequin robot, while several ...

Flying Robot with Biologically Inspired Vision

Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics, 2001
An autonomous helicopter controlled by biologically inspired vision detects the displacement of altitude with real-time video processing, using has 2 CCD video cameras to see landscape objects and processing circuitry with an FPGA. Each image is divided into 800 areas for edge detection, used to detect displacement.

Autonomous Shepherding Behaviors of Multiple Target Steering Robots

Sensors, 2017
This paper presents a distributed coordination methodology for multi-robot systems, based on nearest-neighbor interactions. Among many interesting tasks that may be performed using swarm robots, we propose a biologically-inspired control law for a ...

Biologically Inspired Miniature Water Strider Robot

Robotics: Science and Systems I, 2005
Recent biological studies on water strider insects revealed the detailed mechanism of their staying and walking on water. While macro scale bodies use buoyancy to stay on water, these very light and small insects balance their weight using repulsive surface tension forces where the insect legs are covered with hydrophobic micro-hairs.

The Puller-Follower Control of Compliant and Noncompliant Antagonistic Tendon Drives in Robotic Systems

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2011
This paper proposes a new control strategy for noncompliant and compliant antagonistic tendon drives. It is applied to a succession of increasingly complex single‐joint systems, starting with a linear and noncompliant system and ending with a ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning for the Biologically Inspired Social Behaviour of Autonomous Robots Acting in Dynamic Environments

IEEE Access
Robots are increasingly operating in highly complex and dynamic scenarios where they must continuously perceive their environment, learn from new experiences, and apply acquired knowledge to complete their tasks effectively.

Towards an Autonomous Walking Robot for Planetary Surfaces [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper, recent progress in the development of the DLR Crawler - a six-legged, actively compliant walking robot prototype - is presented. The robot implements a walking layer with a simple tripod and a more complex biologically inspired gait ...

Sensory Architectures for Biologically Inspired Autonomous Robotics

The Biological Bulletin, 2001
Engineers have a lot to gain from studying biology. The study of biological neural systems alone provides numerous examples of computational systems that are far more complex than any man-made system and perform real-time sensory and motor tasks in a manner that humbles the most advanced artificial systems.
