Conventional recognition methods often falter, exhibiting limited accuracy and struggling to capture the complex, nonlinear dynamics inherent in biological data streams. Addressing these critical limitations, this study introduces a novel framework for lower-limb motion intent recognition, integrating Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) optimized via an Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm (ISSA). Our approach commences by constructing a comprehensive high-dimensional feature space from synchronized surface electromyography (sEMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data-a potent combination reflecting both muscle activation and limb kinematics. Critically, KPCA is employed for nonlinear dimensionality reduction; leveraging the power of kernel functions, it transcends the linear constraints of traditional PCA to extract low-dimensional principal components that retain significantly more discriminative information. Furthermore, the Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) undergoes three strategic enhancements: chaotic opposition-based learning for superior population diversity, adaptive dynamic weighting to adeptly balance exploration and exploitation, and hybrid mutation strategies to effectively mitigate premature convergence. This enhanced ISSA meticulously optimizes the SVM hyperparameters, ensuring robust classification performance. Experimental validation, conducted on a challenging 13-class lower-limb motion dataset, compellingly demonstrates the superiority of the proposed KPCA-ISSA-SVM architecture. It achieves a remarkable recognition accuracy of 95.35% offline and 93.3% online, substantially outperforming conventional PCA-SVM (91.85%) and standalone SVM (89.76%) benchmarks.

In this study, we propose CSBA (Cuckoo Search-Bees Algorithm), a hybrid evolutionary method that combines the strengths of Cuckoo Search and Bees algorithms, to generate s-box structures with strong cryptographic properties. The initial population is generated with a high-diversity four-dimensional Memristive Lu chaotic map, taking advantage of the random yet deterministic nature of chaotic systems. This proposed method was designed with inspiration from biological systems. It was developed based on the foraging strategies of bees and the reproductive strategies of cuckoos. This nature-inspired structure enables an efficient scanning of the solution space. The resultant s-boxes' fitness was assessed using the nonlinearity value. These s-boxes were then optimized using the hybrid CSBA algorithm suggested in this paper as well as the Bees algorithm. The performance of the proposed approaches was measured using SAC, nonlinearity, BIC-SAC, BIC-NL, maximum difference distribution, and linear uniformity (LU) metrics. Compared to other studies in the literature that used metaheuristic algorithms to generate s-boxes, the proposed approach demonstrates good performance. In particular, the average value of 109.75 obtained for the nonlinearity metric demonstrates high success. Therefore, this study demonstrates that robust and reliable s-boxes can be generated for symmetric encryption algorithms using the developed metaheuristic algorithms.</p>","PeriodicalId":8907,"journal":{"name":"Biomimetics","volume":"10 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12467705/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145147714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These principles of animal communication enable robust coordination without centralized control or persistent connectivity. This work presents a proof of concept that identifies, evaluates, and translates biological communication strategies into a generative visual language for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm agents operating in radio-frequency (RF)-denied environments. Drawing from natural exemplars such as bee waggle dancing, white-tailed deer flagging, and peacock feather displays, we construct a configuration space that encodes visual messages through trajectories and LED patterns. A large language model (LLM), preconditioned using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), serves as a generative translation layer that interprets perception data and produces symbolic UAV responses. Five test cases evaluate the system's ability to preserve and adapt signal meaning through within-modality fidelity (maintaining symbolic structure in the same modality) and cross-modal translation (transferring meaning across motion and light). Covariance and eigenvalue-decomposition analysis demonstrate that this bio-agentic approach supports clear, expressive, and decentralized communication, with motion-based signaling achieving near-perfect clarity and expressiveness (0.992, 1.000), while LED-only and multi-signal cases showed partial success, maintaining high expressiveness (~1.000) but with much lower clarity (≤0.298).</p>","PeriodicalId":8907,"journal":{"name":"Biomimetics","volume":"10 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12467162/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145147703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tree frogs (<i>Polypedates dennysi</i>), which combine jumping and adhesive capabilities, inhabit arboreal habitats with a wide range of compliant substrates.

In this study, we developed a stiffness-adjustable takeoff substrate supported by four springs, and combined it with a 3D motion capture system to analyze the jumping dynamics and kinematics of frogs across a broader range of compliant substrates. We found that energy recovery from the substrate was influenced by compliance. On the stiffest substrate, up to 50% of the stored energy was recovered during takeoff, whereas highly compliant substrates caused nonlinear damping, energy dissipation, and even takeoff failure. During takeoff, frogs generated peak normal forces up to 6 times their body weight and fore-aft forces up to 4.5 times their body weight. However, force generation showed limited adaptability to substrate mechanics, while takeoff velocity exhibited stronger adaptability to changes in compliance.
