In submitting conference proceedings to Proceedings, the Volume Editors of the proceedings certify to the publisher that all papers published in this volume have been subjected to peer review administered by the Volume Editors [...]

Tree root systems are multifunctional plant elements that could serve as biomimetic role models for anchoring and supply systems in engineering [...]

Most insects have an elongated shape and can be divided into two main geometric sides: the dorsal and the ventral [...]

Plants are ideal for soft robot design due to their favourable ability to adapt and respond to the environment. Here, three different motile plants, bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae), the waterwheel plant (Aldrovanda vesiculosa), and the Venus fl...

Aquatic moths of Lepidoptera, Crambidae, and Acentropinae inhabit moist environments [...]

Landing on vertical surfaces poses a greater challenge for insects compared to horizontal ones, yet it remarkably expands their spatial range [...]

The flying wing of the beetle exhibits unique wing spreading–flying–collecting behavior in the process of flight, which is the best bionic object for flapping wing aircraft design. In this paper, through the motion behavior observation sy...

The diversification of the periodic ultrastructure of wing scales plays a crucial role in regulating the functional properties of butterfly wings, contributing to their ecological adaptation. This study addresses the structural regulation of mid-infr...

The increasing occurrence of hot summer days causes stress for both humans and animals, particularly in urban areas where temperatures remain high, even at night [...]

Insects optimize friction in their joints by combining microstructures with a—so far unknown—lubricant. To develop environmentally friendly lubricants, we research the sophisticated tribological system found in the joints of beetles. We c...
