Nano-kirigami method enables rich diversity of structural geometries that significantly broaden the functionalities of optical micro/nano-devices. However, the methodologies of various nano-kirigami are still limited and...

Abstract In this work is presented a hybrid bioinspired optimization technique that associates a General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) with the Multiobjective Bat Algorithm (MOBA), for the design and synthesis of the ...

Abstract Large quadruped mammals, such as ruminants, have outstanding motion ability, including running and bounding. These advanced motion abilities are related to the buffer effect of their complicated musculoskeletal ...

Robotics has evolved a lot since its origin. The design of these robots is done based on various aspects, and one such aspect is bioinspired robots, which lies one of the most challenging fields were a robot is developed...

Abstract This paper describes an investigation of the possibility of using a new conductive ink, insted of copper clad laminates, in the manufacturing of microstrip patch antennas on glass and fiberglass substrates and o...

Nanotechnology introduces sophistication to traditional pharmaceutical technology. A blank canvas that off ersunexploredo pportunities,where the most subtle physical-chemical interactions introduce significant changes in...

Drug carriers with intelligent functions are powerful therapeutic and diagnostic platforms in curing various diseases such as malignant neoplasms. These functions include the remote noninvasive activation of drug using p...

Copper matrix composites face the inherent strength-conductivity trade-off, limiting their high-end applications. Inspired by bone and bamboo, a bioinspired oriented multicore composite (BOMC) was fabricated. Its dual-ne...

Artificial vision systems pervade our daily lives as a foremost sensing apparatus in various digital technologies, from smartphones to autonomous cars and robotics. The broad range of applications for conventional vision...

This paper presents the development of a bioinspired multifunctional flexible optical sensor (BioMFOS) as an ultrasensitive tool for force (intensity and location) and orientation sensing. The sensor structure is bioinsp...

Abstract Legged robots use isolated footholds to support, which have the merit of good terrain trafficability but lack speed ability. In contrast, wheeled robots have the advantages of high speed and efficiency but only ...

Abstract Medical devices are a major component of precision medicine and play a key role in medical treatment, particularly with the rapid development of minimally invasive surgery and wearable devices. Their tissue cont...

Surface adhesion is critical to the survival of pathogenic bacteria both in natural niches and during infections, often via forming matrix-embedded communities called biofilms. Vibrio cholerae, the causal agent of pandem...

Metasurface is a recently developed nanophotonics concept to manipulate the properties of light by replacing conventional bulky optical components with ultrathin (more than 104 times thinner) flat optical components. Sin...

Abstract A microstrip leaf-shaped printed monopole antenna bioinspired on the Inga marginata leaves is presented in this paper for UWB applications. A parametric study of the proposed antenna bioinspired geometry was con...

Clustering task aims at the unsupervised classification of patterns (e.g., observations, data, vec- tors, etc.) in different groups. Clustering problem has been approached from different disciplines during the last years...
