Emulating duration and curvature of coral snake anti-predator thrashing behaviors using a soft-robotic platform [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper presents a soft-robotic platform for exploring the ecological relevance of non-locomotory movements via animal-robot interactions. Coral snakes (genus Micrurus) and their mimics use vigorous, non-locomotory, and arrhythmic thrashing to deter predation.

The emerging phylogenetic pattern of parthenogenesis in snakes
, 2016 Parthenogenesis occurs across a variety of vertebrate taxa. Within squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes), a group for which the largest number of cases has been documented, both obligate and facultative types of parthenogenesis exists, although the ...

Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.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 ...

Variational approximations to homoclinic snaking [PDF]
, 2010 We investigate the snaking of localised patterns, seen in numerous physical applications, using a variational approximation. This method naturally introduces the exponentially small terms responsible for the snaking structure, that are not accessible via standard multiple-scales asymptotic techniques.

The burrowing origin of modern snakes
Science Advances, 2015 Modern snakes originated from burrowing ancestors, predicted from the evolution of their inner ear. Modern snakes probably originated as habitat specialists, but it controversial unclear whether they were ancestrally terrestrial burrowers or marine ...

A Motion‐Sensing Integrated Soft Robot with Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Pipeline Inspection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A soft robot integrated with triboelectric nanogenerator‐based tactile sensors is proposed to achieve locomotion within pipelines and exteroception of different materials and structures of pipeline inner surfaces. By introducing a 1D‐convolutional neural network algorithm, the soft robot's accuracy in recognizing eight different pipe inner surface ...

Evolutionary stability of sex chromosomes in snakes
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 Amniote vertebrates possess various mechanisms of sex determination, but their variability is not equally distributed. The large evolutionary stability of sex chromosomes in viviparous mammals and birds was believed to be connected with their endothermy.
