... A body of work combines biomimetic and soft design concepts. For example, a group from Tufts University recently reported a soft climbing and crawling robot inspired by the motion of caterpillars (Rozen-Levy et al., 2019). The robot is moulded from soft silicone rubber and actuated using remote...

...Robert Bogue Purpose This paper aims to provide an insight into robot developments that use bioinspired design concepts. Design/methodology/approach Following a short introduction to biomimetics, this paper first provides examples of bioinspired terrestrial, aerial and underwater robot...

...Muddasar Anwar; Toufik Al Khawli; Irfan Hussain; Dongming Gan; Federico Renda Purpose This paper aims to present a soft closed-chain modular gripper for robotic pick-and-place applications. The proposed biomimetic gripper design is inspired by the Fin Ray effect, derived from fish fins physiology...

... intelligence, but they interact in ways that allow them to exhibit often-complex patterns of behaviour through what is termed “swarm intelligence”. This is inspired by the behaviour of social insects such as ants and bees and is, therefore, a form of biomimetics. In addition to using the technology to gain...
