Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Electrical Control of the Transduction Channels’ Gating Force in Mechanosensory Hair Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The inner ear's hair cells rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to convert vibrations of their hair‐bundle into electrical signals. We show that varying the electrical potential (U) across the sensory epithelium modulates a key determinant of mechanosensitivity—the gating force (FG)—by modulating the gating swing (d), ranging from the size of the ...

Determining the Phase and Amplitude Distortion of a Wavefront using a Plenoptic Sensor

open access: yes, 2015
We have designed a plenoptic sensor to retrieve phase and amplitude changes resulting from a laser beam's propagation through atmospheric turbulence. Compared with the commonly restricted domain of (-pi, pi) in phase reconstruction by interferometers ...
