A distributed electromechanical spine for bio-inspired robots
Biological mechanisms are embraced in mobile robots to interact with their surroundings. Although current bio-inspired robots perform well, their performance is limited due to the lack of a flexible spine. A spine provides an animal's agility, a wide range of motion, balance, and efficiency. It can …

Modeling and Approximation of Nonlinear Dynamics of Flapping Flight
… first and most imperative step when designing a biologically inspired robot is to identify the underlying mechanics of the system or animal of interest. It is most common, perhaps, that this process generates a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary or partial differential equations. For this class of …
