Safely catching aerial micro-robots in mid-air using an open-source aerial robot with soft gripper
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 This work focuses on catching safely an aerial micro-robot in mid-air using another aerial robot that is equipped with a universal soft gripper. To avoid aerodynamic disturbances such as downwash, that would push the target robot away, we follow a ...

Insect-Inspired Robots: Bridging Biological and Artificial Systems [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 This review article aims to address common research questions in hexapod robotics. How can we build intelligent autonomous hexapod robots that can exploit their biomechanics, morphology, and computational systems, to achieve autonomy, adaptability, and energy efficiency comparable to small living creatures, such as insects?

Asynchronous and Self‐Adaptive Flight Assembly via Electrostatic Actuation of Flapping Wings
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2021 About three quarters of flying insects on Earth use the asynchronous driving mechanism in muscles to power their flights. Herein, an asynchronous flight assembly via electrostatic actuation of flapping wings in analogy to the asynchronous mechanism in ...

Stimuli-responsive polymer-based bioinspired soft robots
Micro and Nano Systems Letters, 2023 Soft robotics enables various applications in certain environments where conventional rigid robotics cannot deliver the same performance due to their form factor and stiffness. Animals use their soft external organs to carry out activities in response to

Reactive direction control for a mobile robot: A locust-like control of escape direction emerges when a bilateral pair of model locust visual neurons are integrated [PDF]
, 2010 Locusts possess a bilateral pair of uniquely identifiable visual neurons that respond vigorously to the image of an approaching object. These neurons are called the lobula giant movement detectors (LGMDs). The locust LGMDs have been extensively studied

Modeling and Mathematical Analysis of Swarms of Microscopic Robots [PDF]
, 2005 The biologically-inspired swarm paradigm is being used to design self-organizing systems of locally interacting artificial agents. A major difficulty in designing swarms with desired characteristics is understanding the causal relation between individual
