Biomimetic Robots: Defined and Explored
Published on : Tuesday 28-07-2020
Biomimetic robots are based on biological principles, where they used to translate biological principles into engineered systems. Moreover, these robots are designed and produced for the specific interest that is replacing classical engineering solutions in order to achieve a function observed in the natural system.
“The collaboration of biological data with advances in low-cost robotic technology. Companies are focusing to produce robots that mimic insect and sea creature adaptations to environmental niches based on power-efficient computer systems.”
Global researchers are greatly counting on the growth of the robots towards the growth of Industry 4.0 through creating highly qualified robots to detect mines, explore Mars, or search for people trapped beneath an earthquake-damaged building. Also, these researchers stating that it is too early to predict the growth, as many existing projects are still in the development phase and waiting to get commercialized in the global market.
Biomimetic Robots with Animal Behaviors
Biomimetic robots’ study and animal behaviors are mutually-reinforcing and inseparable. Animals, through long-term evolutionary processes, have developed innate advantages in locomotion, cognition, information processing, and control. Inspired by their evolvement, biomimetic robots are integrated with biological characteristics which give them more powerful motor abilities, cognitive abilities, and more delicate control processes than other robots. At the same time, the development of biomimetic technology and the excellent interaction characteristics of biomimetic robots also promote the study of animal behaviors.
This article aims to give a general overview of the relationship between biomimetic robots and animal behaviors. On one hand, the role of imitating animal behaviors in promoting the development of biomimetic robots is expounded from three aspects: locomotion behaviors, cognition behaviors, and neural activities. On the other hand, the positive role of biomimetic robots in the research of animal behaviors is described in terms of behavioral responses of target animals, group behavioral mechanisms, and cognitive neurological activities of animals.
