To reproduce the feature of the biosonar signal, this paper uses a signal extracting method with a correction factor of inter-click interval to acquire the parameter of click trains. The extracted clicks were analyzed in the time and frequency domain. Furthermore, a joint pulse-frequency representation was undertaken in order to provide a 2D energy distribution for an echolocation click train. The results from joint pulse-frequency representation indicate that click train can be adjusted its energy distribution by using a multi-component signal structure. To evaluate the capability of the click train to inform the whale of relevant target information perception for the click train, a finite element model is built to reproduce target discrimination by the bio-inspired click train. Numerical results indicate that the bio-inspired click train could enhance the echo-response by concentrating energy into the frequency bins for extracting target feature effectively. This proof-of-concept study suggests that the model of click train could be dynamically controlled to match the target properties, and show a promising way to use various types of echolocation click train to interrogate different features of the target by man-made sonar.","PeriodicalId":55377,"journal":{"name":"Bioinspiration & Biomimetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142584966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the underlying mechanisms governing the generation of active sensing movements are not known. To address this, we investigated the role of active sensing movements in the refuge tracking behavior ofEigenmannia virescens, a species of weakly electric fish. These fish track the longitudinal movements of a refuge in which they hide by swimming back and forth in a single linear dimension. During refuge tracking,Eigenmanniaexhibits stereotyped whole-body oscillations when the quality of the sensory signals degrades. We developed a closed-loop feedback control model to examine the role of these ancillary movements on the task performance. Our modeling suggests that fish may use active sensing to minimize predictive uncertainty in state estimation during refuge tracking. The proposed model generates simulated fish trajectories that are statistically indistinguishable from that of the actual fish, unlike the open-loop noise generator and stochastic resonance generator models in the literature. These findings reveal the significance of closed-loop control in active sensing behavior, offering new insights into the underlying mechanisms of dynamic sensory modulation.","PeriodicalId":55377,"journal":{"name":"Bioinspiration & Biomimetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The architecture of natural skeletal muscles allows for compact actuation packaging by distributing a substantial number of actuation elements or muscle fiber motor units, which are to be arranged, oriented, and sized in various formations. Many researchers have drawn inspiration from these natural muscle architectures to assist in designing soft robotic systems safe for human-robot interaction. Although there are known tradeoffs identified between different muscle architectures, this optimization framework offers a method to map these architectural tradeoffs to soft actuator designs. The actuation elements selected for this study are FAMs or McKibben muscles due to their inherent compliance, cheap construction, high force-to-weight ratio, and muscle-like force-contraction behavior. Preceding studies analytically modeled the behavior of arranging FAMs in parallel, asymmetrical unipennate, and symmetrical bipennate topologies inspired by the fiber architectures found in human muscle tissues. A more recent study examined the implications of spatial constraints on bipennate FAM bundle actuation and found that by careful design, a bipennate FAM bundle can produce more force, contraction, stiffness, and work output than that of a parallel FAM bundle under equivalent spatial bounds. This multi-objective genetic algorithm-based optimization framework is used to realize desirable topological properties of a FAM bundle for maximum force and stroke for a given spatial envelope. The results help identify tradeoffs to inform design decisions based on the force and stroke demand from the desired operating task. This study further demonstrates how the desirable topological properties of the optimized FAM bundle change with different spatial bounds.","PeriodicalId":55377,"journal":{"name":"Bioinspiration & Biomimetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our design leverages a tendon-driven composite arm, enabling precise bending and adaptive grasping, combined with SMA technology to create a compact, efficient suction mechanism. We develop comprehensive kinematic and static models to predict the interaction between arm bending deflection and suction force, thereby optimizing the gripper's performance.

Particularly, the multi-mode wingbeat motion such as flapping, sweeping and twisting in coordination presents advantages in promoting unsteady aerodynamics and enhancing lift force. To achieve the flapping-twisting-sweeping motion capability, this paper proposes an at-scale three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) mechanism driven by three piezoelectric actuators, which consists of three four-bar mechanisms and a parallel spherical mechanism. Compliant hinges are utilized as rotating joints for power transmission. The DOF and the kinematics analysis are performed. The aerodynamic model of the wing and the mechanical model of the compliant hinges are considered to investigate the required driving force response of the mechanism with wing loads. By employing nonlinear programming techniques, the geometric parameters of three piezoelectric actuators are reverse-designed to match the dynamic response of the mechanism in two flapping conditions. The significance of this work lies in proposing a novel concept of an at-scale multi-DOF wingbeat mechanism, demonstrating the feasibility of this mechanism to mimic the flexible and multi-mode wingbeat movement of insects, and providing an initial mechanism-drive solution.","PeriodicalId":55377,"journal":{"name":"Bioinspiration & Biomimetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to its typical horizontal undulation, the modeled kinematics incorporates vertical undulations and dorsal-to-ventral bending movements while in motion. Using a computational approach with an incompressible flow solver based on the immersed-boundary method, this study employs topological local mesh refinement mesh blocks to ensure the high resolution of the grid around the moving body. Initially, we applied a vertical wave undulation to a snake model undulating horizontally, investigating the effects of vertical wave amplitudes (ψm). The vortex dynamics analysis unveiled alterations in leading-edge vortices formation within the midplane due to changes in the effective angle of attack resulting from vertical bending, directly influencing lift generation. Our findings highlighted peak lift production atψm=2.5∘and the highest lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) atψm=5∘, with aerodynamic performance declining beyond this threshold. Subsequently, we studied the effects of the dorsal-ventral bending amplitude (ψDV), showing that the tail-up/down body posture can result in different fore-aft body interactions. Compared to the baseline configuration, the lift generation is observed to increase by 17.3% atψDV= 5°, while a preferable L/D is found atψDV= -5°. This study explains the flow dynamics associated with vertical bending and uncovers fundamental mechanisms governing body-body interaction, contributing to the enhancement of lift production and efficiency of aerial undulation in snake-inspired gliding.","PeriodicalId":55377,"journal":{"name":"Bioinspiration & Biomimetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142632920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
