  1. Biomimetic Design James Tacey, AditiShinde

  2. BiomimeticSystems • Neural Networks • Biological Redundancy • Self-Repair • Artificial Intelligence

  3. Neural Networks • Groups of connected nodes or neurons • Capable of finding non-linear patterns • Highly adaptable to new inputs stimuli • Excellent choice for control systems of biomimetic locomotion

  4. Biological Redundancy • Many animals have redundant systems • Systems allow continued functionality after a limb or other system is damaged • Redundancy prevents single point-of-failure in the system • Adaptation to a robotics allows for more longer and more reliable functionality

  5. Self-Repair • Animals are capable of healing and repairing damage done • Repair algorithms and self-repairing materials • Allows robot to become more durable and capable of lasting in more harsh environments

  6. Artificial Intelligence • Still in early stages of research • Robots can be ‘taught’ very simple tasks • Would allow robots to adapt • Wide variety of application in robotics, ability to ‘learn’ variety of tasks

  7. Artificial Muscles • Shape Memory Effects • Electroactive Polymers • Chemical Muscles

  8. Shape Memory Effects • Use of materials that ‘remember’ shapes • Material is ‘taught’ a shape • Temperature controlled ‘muscle’ • Slow but more durable ‘muscle’ for robotic applications

  9. Electroactive Polymers • Polymers that change shape • Electrically stimulated • Highly pliable materials with a wide-variety of applications

  10. Chemical Muscles • Similar to biological muscles • Non-combustible chemical reaction drives cylinder • Higher energy density than electricity

  11. Evolutionary Robotics • Hardware and software co-evolution • Use of genetic algorithms and neural networks • Allows more adaptive design • Requires less trial and error • Effective for developing robotic gaits
