Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2025.
Soft robotics has seen intense research over the past two decades and offers a promising approach for future robotic applications. However, standard industrial methods may be challenging to apply to soft robots. Recent advances in deep learning provide powerful tools to analyze and design complex soft machines that can operate in unstructured ...

Some investigations into non passive listening [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Our knowledge of the function of the auditory nervous system is based upon a wealth of data obtained, for the most part, in anaesthetised animals. More recently, it has been generally acknowledged that factors such as attention profoundly modulate the ...

A Model‐Based Deep‐Learning Approach to Reconstructing the Highly Articulated Flight Kinematics of Bats

open access: yesApplied AI Letters, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
An automated flying bat kinematic reconstruction pipeline. ABSTRACT Bats are capable of highly dexterous flight maneuvers that rely heavily on highly articulated hand skeletons and malleable wing membranes. To understand the underlying mechanisms, large amounts of detailed data on bat flight kinematics are required. Conventional methods to obtain these

SonoNERFs: Neural Radiance Fields Applied to Biological Echolocation Systems Allow 3D Scene Reconstruction through Perceptual Prediction

open access: yesBiomimetics
In this paper, we introduce SonoNERFs, a novel approach that adapts Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) to model and understand the echolocation process in bats, focusing on the challenges posed by acoustic data interpretation without phase information ...

A comparative survey of job prospects for the period 1991-1996 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
How discouraging is the job market for young scientists these days? It seems that most scientists who have tried to land a job in· recent years can tell you, unambiguously, Very. Are prospects bleaker for some experimental psychologists than for others?

An Assessment of the Soundscape West of the Svalbard Islands

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 3, 16 February 2025.
Abstract A climatic shift is driving the Arctic Ocean toward an “Atlantification” process. This phenomenon might turn the future Arctic into an ice‐free Ocean and affect its soundscape. Measurements of ambient noise are scarce in the eastern Arctic, so we present a comparison of data from two locations west of the Svalbard Islands; one near Molloy Deep

Evolution of the heteroharmonic strategy for target-range computation in the echolocation of Mormoopidae.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
Echolocating bats use the time elapsed from biosonar pulse emission to the arrival of echo (defined as echo-delay) to assess target-distance. Target-distance is represented in the brain by delay-tuned neurons that are classified as either heteroharmonic ...

Foraging behavior and Doppler shift compensation in echolocating hipposiderid bats, I-Iipposideros bicolor and I-Iipposideros speoris [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
1. Two hipposiderid bats,H. bicolor andH. speoris, were observed in their natural foraging areas in Madurai (South India). Both species hunt close together near the foliage of trees and bushes but they differ in fine structure of preferred hunting space:

Deep Learning‐Driven Modeling of Dynamic Acoustic Sensing in Biomimetic Soft‐Robotic Pinnae

open access: yesApplied AI Letters, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological function often depends on complex mechanisms of a dynamic, time‐variant nature. An example is certain bat species (horseshoe bats—Rhinolophidae) that use intricate pinna musculatures to execute a variety of pinna deformations. While prior work has indicated the potential significance of these motions for sensory information encoding,

Bioinspired low-frequency material characterisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
New-coded signals, transmitted by high-sensitivity broadband transducers in the 40–200 kHz range, allow subwavelength material discrimination and thickness determination of polypropylene, polyvinylchloride, and brass samples.
