Advancing Kinematic Control from Rigid Robots to Dynamic Bio-Inspired Systems for Adaptive Behaviours
… robots differs significantly from that of biological organisms. Most commercial robots have rigid structures and actuation, whereas animals possess materials with varying stiffness, such as skin, tissue, muscles, and bones, resulting in rich dynamics that expand behavioural capabilities. …

The dynamics of ultrafast motion in biological and bio-inspired systems: the case study of click beetles
… accelerations using complex latch and spring systems to overcome their muscle force-speed trade-offs and amplify mechanical power output. This dissertation introduces a multi-scale analytical and experimental framework to investigate how extreme accelerations are generated in biological …

Mitigating IPMC Back Relaxation Through Feedforward and Feedback Control of Patterned Electrodes
… for use in many applications including soft bio-inspired actuators and sensors. There are, however, drawbacks to IPMC actuators, including the "back relaxation" effect. Specifically, when subjected to an excessively slow dynamic input, the IPMC actuator will slowly relax back toward its …

Reversible chemistry to control the synthesis and folding of polymeric materials
… All the work done in the field involve biomolecules or bio-inspired systems but there are not, to the best of our knowledge, examples of purely synthetic oligomers than can undergo efficient supramolecular replication. Covalent duplex formation has risen as a promising alternative in …

Feedback control of analog neurons and shunting inhibition in dendrites for bio-inspired neuromorphic systems.
… field that takes inspiration from biological nervous systems to develop artificial computational architectures. This research revisits the original vision of neuromorphic computing by focusing on analog circuit implementations that closely emulate biological neural mechanisms. The …
