#BioInspired

Scientists have developed a #bioinspired policy that enables a multifingered robot to combine visual and tactile cues, like humans, to perform learned and new #manipulation tasks even under poor lighting conditions. Learn more in Science #Robotics:

No wheels, no problem! 🌊 Modeled after stingrays, this amphibious robot uses undulating fins to glide underwater and traverse land. It handles sand, snow, pebbles and ice with ease—built for harsh surfaces. Which terrain should it tackle next? 👇 #BioInspired #Robotics

We're hiring PhDs and Postdocs to work on #bioinspired #biophysics #livingmats and #AdditiveManufacturing! RT appreciated 🙏 @Shaping_Matter @ERC_Research @AETUDelft

A #bioinspired eye can reflexively constrict or dilate its pupil in response to varying light levels like a human eye, which could improve image detection and find applications in autonomous driving. @baiwubin Learn more in Science #Robotics:

“Future research can pave the way for #bioinspired #multimodal robots that not only parallel but also surpass the agility, efficiency, and adaptability of biological counterparts,” researchers write in a new @SciRobotics Review.

A recent Science #Robotics study uses a #bioinspired robot to demonstrate that “bout-and-glide" swimming, seen in aquatic animals such as zebrafish and humpback whales, is more energy efficient than continuous swimming.

Thanks to @plamatsu and Lukas Schreiber @unibonn we learned more about leaf cuticles than we ever dreamed of. Read about adaptive directional water transport through these biomembranes and our #bioinspired knockoffs in @NatureComms : Great work Aris!

Another night of introducing audiences to #bioinspired design and giant #larvacean #snotpalaces. 😍 Thank you @NatGeoLive @kauffmancenter for providing a fantastic venue! #onwardsanddownwards #DesignedByNature

Stumbled on this millipede and his (her?) hypnotic undulating locomotion. Mathematical model back in 1964 ( and now biomimetic “millibots” being studied for robotic colonoscopies! #entomology #bioinspired #sciencetwitter #nature #biology #SciTwitter

Friends working on #bioinspired #materials and #geotech #engineering. Here is a time-lapse video of ant digging in wet Ottawa sand: made in 2006-07 at @GeorgiaTech. I have a ton of videos in DVDs. Let me know if you want to see more! Thanks @NSF !

Check out our new paper where we 3D-print 20um spun fibers from liquid crystal polymers to achieve the same modulus range as carbon fibers by harnessing the self-orientation of nematic domains !! #additivemanufacturing #bioinspired #sustainableaviation

Dragonfly wings rip up bacteria without antibiotics. We have so much to learn from the bugs around us! #bioinspired

A new Science #Robotics study describes a #bioinspired wearable back-support device for multidimensional assistance during asymmetric and symmetric #lifting tasks.
