Optimizing the synthesis process of wood-derived biomorphic silicon carbide
Biomorphic silicon carbide, a porous, light and high strength ceramic typically derived from natural wood, has great potential in high temperature and structural applications. Over the past several years, researchers have developed three main routes to fabricating biomorphic SiC: reactive …

Design and implementation of series elastic actuation in a biomorphic robot leg
… details the design of the BOB (Bag of Bones) biomorphic robot leg that is a continuation of an effort to achieve a better understanding of the sensorimotor neurocontrol of locomotion, particularly in humans. Such an understanding will not only lead to robots that move as well or better than …

Adaptive Path Following of the Biomorphic Hyper-Redundant Snake Robot in Unconstructed Environment
The efficient movement of biological snakes in various environments is the result of a long evolution. It is a challenge for researchers to make snake robots gain high efficiency, athletic agility, and environmental adaptability of snakes due to the complicated motion control issues caused by …

A study on the use of indigenous New Zealand plant fibres for producing biomorphic hydroxyapatite fibres and chars used in reinforcing biomedical hydroxyapatite sourced from cattle bone
… section of the thesis deals with development of biomorphic biomaterials-based fibres via treatments involving animal derived hydroxyapatite (HAp) and natural plant fibres. Initially waste bovine bone was processed to produce hydroxyapatite via re-precipitation. In this process, the bovine bone …

Surging Seepage: A Triple Bond Accretion System
… The work is an accretion of brightly colored biomorphic forms that extend out from the wall and onto the floor. Viscous parts ooze and drip while others are globular and bulbous. The hyper-organic forms suggest a paradoxical state of both ripening and rotting, becoming and unbecoming. The work …

Hierarchical neural control of human postural balance and bipedal walking in sagittal plane
… framework for the design of humanoid or other biomorphic robot locomotion. The modeling was designed to confirm neurophysiological plausibility and achieve practical simplicity as well. The combination of scheduled long-loop proprioceptive and force feedback represents the cerebrocerebellar …

Topobo : a 3-D constructive assembly system with kinetic memory
… components, people can quickly assemble dynamic biomorphic forms like animals and skeletons, animate those forms by pushing, pulling, and twisting them, and observe the system repeatedly play back those motions. For example, a dog can be constructed and then taught to gesture and walk by twisting …

Touchy-Feely, Gross Stuff
… it were an object. In this thesis using handmade biomorphic organic based forms, I explore the perplexing concept of emotion; by making a collection of soft sculptures through which the viewer can experience these sensations. These forms are an amalgamation of emotions; physical and psychological …

Comportamiento mecánico de materiales celulares de carburo de silicio
… for this investigation were Duocel SiC foams and biomorphic SiC. The analysis of mechanical behaviour done on Duocel SiC, processed by pirolysis of polyurethane reticulated foams and coating with SiC with the CVD technique (Chemical Vapour Deposition), showed that neither properties are degraded …

Transmutational Harmony
The work that I have produced during my graduate studies at the University of New Orleans addresses the impact that humans have on the environment in our contemporary world. A primary focus, but not exclusive, includes industrial materials or objects, their overwhelming presence that informs the …
