Biomimetics, Volume 8, Issue 4

The Mayfly Optimization Algorithm (MOA), as a new biomimetic metaheuristic algorithm with superior algorithm framework and optimization methods, plays a remarkable role in solving optimization problems. However, there are still shortcomings of conver...

Locomotion control of synergistical interaction between fins has been one of the key problems in the field of robotic fish research owing to its contribution to improving and enhancing swimming performance. In this paper, the coordinated locomotion c...

Fruit fly larvae, which exist widely in nature, achieve peristaltic motion via the contraction and elongation of their bodies and the asymmetric friction generated by the front and rear parts of their bodies when they are in contact with the ground....

In recent years, limited works on EOG (electrooculography)-based biometric authentication systems have been carried out with eye movements or eye blinking activities in the current literature. EOGs have permanent and unique traits that can separate o...

With the rapid development of the geometric modeling industry and computer technology, the design and shape optimization of complex curve shapes have now become a very important research topic in CAGD. In this paper, the Hybrid Artificial Hummingbird...

The mechanisms underlying bone-implant integration, or osseointegration, are still incompletely understood, in particular how blood and proteins are recruited to implant surfaces. The objective of this study was to visualize and quantify the flow of...

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are widely recognized for their biomimetic and efficient computing features. They utilize spikes to encode and transmit information. Despite the many advantages of SNNs, they suffer from the problems of low accuracy and...

When intelligent mobile robots perform global path planning in complex and narrow environments, several issues often arise, including low search efficiency, node redundancy, non-smooth paths, and high costs. This paper proposes an improved path plann...

There is no doubt that the involvement of the Internet of Things (IoT) in our daily lives has changed the way we live and interact as a global community, as IoT enables intercommunication of digital objects around us, creating a pervasive environment...

Wearable touch sensors, which can convert force or pressure signals into quantitative electronic signals, have emerged as essential smart sensing devices and play an important role in various cutting-edge fields, including wearable health monitoring,...
