Design and analysis of some nonanthropomorphic, biologically inspired robots: An overview
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, two kinds of biologically inspired robots under investigation at Johns Hopkins University are reviewed. While these designs are reminiscent of designs in nature, they are, however, not anthropomorphic. Rather, they are zoomorphic in macroscopic structure. These two kinds of robots are snakelike “hyper-redundant” manipulators, and amoeboid “metamorphic” robots. In addition to issues in the design of the robots, issues in the dynamics and motion planning of these devices are reviewed.

Towards attentive robots
This paper introduces Attentive Robots: robots that attend to the parts of their sensory input that are currently of most potential interest. The concept of selecting the most promising parts is adopted from human perception where selective attention allocates the brain resources to the most interesting parts of the sensory input. We give an overview of current approaches to integrate computati...
متن کاملPepper or Roomba? Effective Robot Design Type Based on Cultural Analysis between Korean and Japanese Users
From a design perspective, there are two ways in robot design approach: biologically inspired and functionally designed. It has been proved that the two robot design types could be perceived differently by the cultural background. This study explored the impact of robot design types in Korean and Japanese culture on product evaluation, product usefulness, and purchase intention. We conducted an...
متن کاملSelf-organization, embodiment, and biologically inspired robotics.
Robotics researchers increasingly agree that ideas from biology and self-organization can strongly benefit the design of autonomous robots. Biological organisms have evolved to perform and survive in a world characterized by rapid changes, high uncertainty, indefinite richness, and limited availability of information. Industrial robots, in contrast, operate in highly controlled environments wit...
متن کاملThe Impact of Robot Design Approach on Product Evaluation, Product Usefulness and Purchase Intention
Robot design approach can be classified into two: biologically inspired versus functionally designed. This study explored the effect of robot design types on product evaluation, product usefulness, and purchase intention. In the experiment, we compared a group of functionally designed robots having single functions with a biologically inspired robot having multifarious functions. The results sh...
متن کاملBiologically-Inspired Microfabricated Force and Position Mechano-Sensors
The aim of this paper is to discuss an ideal design procedure for biologically-inspired mechanosensors. The main steps of this procedure are the following: (1) analysis of force and position sensors in animals and humans; (2) analysis of technologies available for MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) and; (3) design and implementation of biologically-inspired sensors in innovative mechatroni...
