지난 수십 년간, 소형 로봇 가운데 동물과 곤충을 모방한 생체모방 로봇은 인간이 신체적으로 접근할 수 없는 영역에서 특별한 임무를 위해 개발되어 왔다. 최근 들어, 사람의 접근이 제한되는 공간(예 : 고농축 방사능 보관지역, 바이러스 지역, 대테러 위험지역 등)이 늘어나면서 로봇의 활용범위가 더욱 다양해지고 있으며, 과거에는 사람만 가능했던 많은 행위들이 소형 로봇으로의 대체가 시도 되고 있다. 그 중에서도 보행 로봇의 최적 움직임은 이동하는 표면의 특성(예: 거칠기, 곡률, 경사, 재료 등)에 의해 결정될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 소형 보행 로봇에 적용하기 위한 구조가 간단하고 효율적으로 구동 가능한 압전세라믹 벤더 엑츄에이터를 제안하였다. 유한요소 해석법을 활용한 동적 모델링을 통해 구동원의 형상을 최적화하여 로봇의 이동 성능을 극대화 하였고, 제작과 실험을 통하여 그 결과를 검증하였다. 제작된 엑츄에이터는 무부하 조건에서 최대속도 236mm/s로 이동 하였고, 5g의 부하를 적재하고 156mm/s의 속도로 이동 가능함을 확인 하였다. 제안된 다족형 액추에이터는 수행해야 할 임무와 요구 성능에 따라 모듈식으로 추가가 가능한 장점이 있다.

Bacterial cellulose based actuator with large displacement was developed for biomimetic robots. Bacterial cellulose has 3D nanostructure with high porosity which was composed of the nanofibers. Freeze dried bacterial cellulose was dipped into ionic liquid solution such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium(BMIMCl) to enhance the actuation performance due to increase the ionexchange capacity and ionic conductivity. And Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly (styrnenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) was used for the electrodes of both side of bacterial cellulose actuator by dipping and drying method. The FT-IR and XRD were conducted to examine the electrochemical changes of developed bacterial cellulose actuator. The biomimetic caudal fin was designed using bacterial cellulose actuator and PDMS to verify the possibility for biomimetic robot. The step and harmonic response were conducted to evaluate the performance of developed biomimetic actuator.

Most of the recently developed robots are human friendly robots which imitate an animal or human such as entertainment robot, biomimetic robot and humanoid robot. Interest in these robots is increased because the social trend is focused on health, welfare, and graying. By these social backgrounds, robots become more human friendly and suitable or home or personal environment. The more biomimetic robots resemble living creature, the more human feels familiarity. Human feels close friendship not only when feeding a pet, but also when watching a pet having the food. Most of entertainment robots and pet robots use internal-type batteries and have a self-recharging function. Entertainment robots and pet robots with internal-type batteries are not able to operate during charging the battery. So far there have been a few robots that do not depend on an internal battery. However, they need a bulky energy conversion unit and a slug or foods as an energy source, which is not suitable for home or personal application. In this paper, we introduce a new biomimetic entertainment robot with autonomous eating functionality, called EPRO-1(Eating Pet RObot version 1). The EPRO-1 is able to eat a food (a small battery), by itself and evacuate. We describe the design concept of the autonomous eating mechanism of the EPRO-1, characteristics of sub-parts of the manufactured mechanism and its control system.

This paper introduces a new entertainment robot called ELIRO-II(Eating Lizard RObot version 2)which is a bio-mimetic quadruped walking robot with autonomous eating function. We focus on the realization of the behavior of an animal, i.e., wandering around to find food and eating food. The ELIRO-II is modeled after a lizard, which has four legs, 2-DOF waist-joint, an eye part, a mouth part and a stomach part. The effectiveness of the developed robot is shown through real experiments.

In this paper, we present a comprehensive study for the development of quadruped walking robot. To understand the walking posture of a tetrapod animal, we begin with a careful observation on the skeletal system of tertapod animals. From taking a side view of their skeletal system, it is noted that their fore limbs and hind limbs perform characteristic roles during walking. Moreover, the widths of footprints and energy efficiency in walking have a close relationship through taking a front view of their walking posture. According to these observations, we present a control method where the kinematical solutions are not necessary because we develop a new rhythmic gait pattern for the quadruped walking robot. Though the proposed control method and rhythmic pattern are simple, they can provide the suitable motion planning for the robot since the resultant movement is based on the animal's movements. The validity of the proposed idea is demonstrated through dynamic simulations.
