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.

Adaptive Disparity Detection in Binocular Vision.

open access: yesJournal of the Robotics Society of Japan, 1991
Binocular Vision has been considered to be a method of three dimensional measurement, and this leads to lack of discussing how to decide the size of region that apply physical restriction, the reliability of disparities. These missing issues are quite important for robots when they use it as a method of percepting depth information.

Literature Survey on Stereo Vision Disparity Map Algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sensors, 2016
This paper presents a literature survey on existing disparity map algorithms. It focuses on four main stages of processing as proposed by Scharstein and Szeliski in a taxonomy and evaluation of dense two-frame stereo correspondence algorithms performed in 2002.

Photo-consistency and multiresolution methods for light field disparity estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Light fields can be used to generate photorealistic renderings of a scene from novel viewpoints without need for a model of the scene. Reconstruction of a novel view, however, often leads to ghosting artefacts, which can be relieved by correcting for the

A Superlubricated Magnetically Steerable Microcatheter with Integrated Optical and Fluidic Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetically steerable microcatheter with integrated optical and fluidic channels is developed for multifunctional navigation in tortuous anatomical environments. A surface‐grafted hydrogel coating enables low‐friction actuation. The device demonstrates stable light and fluid delivery during magnetic manipulation, offering a compact platform for ...

Depth Estimation From a Light Field Image Pair With a Generative Model

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In this paper, we propose a novel method to estimate the disparity maps from a light field image pair captured by a pair of light field cameras. Our method integrates two types of critical depth cues, which are separately inferred from the epipolar plane

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Binocular vision and three-dimensional motion perception : the use of changing disparity and inter-ocular velocity differences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This thesis investigates the use of binocular information for motion-in-depth (MID) perception. There are at least two different types of binocular information available to the visual system from which to derive a perception of MID: changing disparity ...

Morphological and biomechanical disparity of crocodile-line archosaurs following the end-Triassic extinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mesozoic crurotarsans exhibited diverse morphologies and feeding modes, representing considerable ecological diversity, yet macroevolutionary patterns remain unexplored.

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.
