Biomimetic sonar for biomimetic SLAM

2012 IEEE Sensors, 2012
We present a biomimetic sonar system consisting of a single emitter and two receivers endowed with realistic spatial filter characteristics by inserting them in plastic replicas of bat pinnae. The outputs of these receivers are processed by a simple functional model of the processing performed in the cochlea.

Biomimetics — a review

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2009
Biology can inform technology at all levels (materials, structures, mechanisms, machines, and control) but there is still a gap between biology and technology. This review itemizes examples of biomimetic products and concludes that the Russian system for inventive problem solving (teoriya resheniya izobreatatelskikh zadatch (TRIZ)) is the best system ...

Biomimetic selectivity

The Chemical Record, 2001
Synthetic organic chemistry normally achieves selectivity by manipulation of the intrinsic reactivity of the substrate, but enzyme use is quite a different principle. The geometry of the enzyme-substrate complex determines enzymatic selectivity, completely overwhelming any normal selective reactivities.

Biomimetic Nanotechnology

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Biomimetic materials processing (BMMP) is defined as the design and synthesis of new functional materials by refining knowledge and understanding of related biological products, structures, functions, and processes. By using BMMP, we can make a new nanotechnology, which is named “biomimetic nanotechnology.” This is based on ...

Biomimetic robots

Computer, 2004
Biomimetics is a general description for engineering a process or system that mimics biology. The term emerged from biochemistry and applies to an infinite range of chemical and mechanical phenomena, from cellular processes to whole-organism functions.

Biomimetic Materials

Journal of Materials Research, 2008
I’ve long been suspicious about attempts to see energy as the overwhelmingly central item setting both options and criteria for design in nature. Indeed, when I tried to create a conceptual framework for teaching biology to college students, I ended up putting energy distinctly second to information.

Biomimetic polyene cyclizations

Bioorganic Chemistry, 1976
AbstractCertain polyenic substances having trans olefinic bonds in a 1,5 relationship can be induced to undergo stereospecific, non‐enzymic, cationic cyclization to give polycyclic products with all‐trans (“natural”) configuration. These transformations appear to mimic in principle the biogenetic conversion of squalene into polycyclic triterpenoids ...

Biomimetic in Silico Devices

2005
We introduce biomimetic in silico devices, and means for validation along with methods for testing and refining them. The devices are constructed from adaptable software components designed to map logically to biological components at multiple levels of resolution.
