Biomimetics, Volume 9, Issue 8

Bio-inspired strategies for robotic sensing are essential for in situ manufactured sensors on the Moon. Sensors are one crucial component of robots that should be manufactured from lunar resources to industrialize the Moon at low cost. We are concern...

To address the issue of automated apple harvesting in orchards, we propose a YOLOv5-RACF algorithm for identifying apples and calculating apple diameters. This algorithm employs the robot operating dystem (ROS) to control the robot’s locomotion...

The collapsible tubular mast (CTM) can be compactly folded for transport and deployed in orbit to serve as a key structural element. Once deployed, the CTM is vulnerable to buckling under axial load and bending moments, compromising its load-bearing...

Celiac disease, a chronic autoimmune condition, manifests in those genetically prone to it through damage to the small intestine upon gluten consumption. This condition is estimated to affect approximately one in every hundred individuals worldwide,...

As a significant technological innovation in the fields of medicine and geriatric care, smart care wheelchairs offer a novel approach to providing high-quality care services and improving the quality of care. The aim of this review article is to exam...

The aim of this study was to develop a novel biomimetic in vitro extraluminal migration model to observe the migration of bacteria along indwelling urinary catheters within the urethra and assess the efficacy of a prototype chlorhexidine diacetate (C...

This research investigates the environmental sustainability and biomedical applications of shape memory polymers (SMPs), focusing on their integration into 4D printing technologies. The objectives include comparing the carbon footprint, embodied ener...

Previous research has primarily focused on evaluating the activity of individual muscles in dancers, often neglecting their synergistic interactions. Investigating the differences in lower limb muscle synergy during landing between dancers and health...

Inspired by the fact that flying insects improve their power conversion efficiency through resonance, many soft robots driven by dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have achieved optimal performance via first-order modal resonance. Besides first-or...

The mimesis of biological mechanisms by artificial devices constitutes the modern, rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary biomimetics sector. In the broader bioinspiration perspective, however, bioarchitectures may perform independent functions without...
