真正的仿生机器人的发展需要将软材料纳入机械设计,并作为电机控制系统的一个组成部分。应对这一挑战的一种方法是确定软体动物如何控制它们的运动,然后将发现的原理应用于机器人应用中。在这里,我展示了一个例子,如何结合动物运动学,神经模式和组织的构成建模可以用来探索在毛虫,天蛾的运动控制。虽然仍处于早期阶段,但这些发现正被用于设计和制造一种新型机器人,这种机器人没有刚性骨架,完全由柔软或顺应性材料构成。希望这个新的机器人平台将促进与软材料兼容的致动器,传感器和电子产品的发展。
The development of truly biomimetic robots requires that soft materials be incorporated into the mechanical design and also used as an integral part of the motor control system. One approach to this challenge is to identify how soft animals control their movements and then apply the found principles in robotic applications. Here I show an example of how a combination of animal kinematics, neural patterning and constitutive modelling of tissues can be used to explore motor control in the caterpillar, Manduca sexta. Although still in the early stages, these findings are being used to design and fabricate a new type of robot that does not have a rigid skeleton and is structured entirely from soft or compliant materials. It is hoped that this new robotic platform will promote the development of actuators, sensors and electronics that are compatible with soft materials.
