In this study, we demonstrate for the first time a bio-inspired Cell-Microsystem to manipulate and detect living cells. Cultured retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19) was directed to grow in a pre-defined Cell-Microsystem. The three-dimensional micropillars of 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in height and diameter of the Cell-Microsystem were fabricated. Inhibited DNA synthesis and transformed cell morphology were observed throughout the culture period. The demonstration of manipulating and detecting living cells by the surface topography is a new approach, and it will be very useful for the future design of cell-based biosensors and bioactuators.

네트워크의 발전으로 인해 현재 존재하는 소프트웨어 구조에 몇 가지 문제점을 내포하게 되었다. 이러한 환경에 대응하기 위해 생태계 구조를 모방한(Bio-inspired) 네트워크 기반적응 생존형 시스템을 제안한다. 여기서는 생태계의 여러 특성 중 적응성(adaptability) 확장성(scalability), 생존성(survivability)을 모델링 하고자한다. 이 시스템은 상기의 특성을 포함하는 몇 개의 계층으로 구성되어 있다. 독립된 개체의 역할을 하는 에코전트 레이어와 에코전트의 활동을 지원하는 에코전트 플랫폼 레이어, 효율적인 네트워크 활용을 위한 플랫폼 콜레버레이션 레이어로 이루어져 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템의 구체적인 기능과 구성 그리고 이 시스템의 활용 분야에 대해 살펴본다.

In this paper, we propose a better solution for swimming plans of an articulated underwater robot, Crabster, with a view point of biomimetics. As a biomimetic model of underwater organisms, we chose diving beetles structurally similar to Crabster. Various swimming locomotion of the diving beetle has been observed and sorted by robotics technology through experiments with a high-speed camera and image processing software Image J. Subsequently, coordinated patterns of rhythmic movements of the diving beetle are reproduced by simple control parameters in a parameter space which make it easy to control trajectories and velocities of legs. Furthermore, a simulation was implemented with an approximated model to predict the motion of the robot under development based on the classified forward and turning locomotion. Consequently, we confirmed the applicability of parameterized leg locomotion to the articulated underwater robot through the simulated results by the approximated model.

An understanding of biomaterials' smart properties and how biocomposite materials are manufactured by cells provides not only bio-inspiration for new classes of smart actuators and sensors but also foundational technology for smart materials and their manufacture. In this case study, I examine the unique smart properties of bone, which are evident at multiple length scales and how they provide inspiration for novel classes of mechanoactive materials. I then review potential approaches to engineer and manufacture bioinspired smart materials that can be applied to solve currently intractable problems such as the need for "smart" body armor or decor cum personal safety devices.

Globally, civil infrastructures are deteriorating at an alarming rate caused by overuse, overloading, aging, damage or failure due to natural or man-made hazards. With such a vast network of deteriorating infrastructure, there is a growing interest in continuous monitoring technologies. In order to provide a true distributed sensor and control system for civil structures, we are developing a Structural Nervous System that mimics key attributes of a human nervous system. This nervous system is made up of building blocks that are designed based on mechanoreceptors as a fundamentally new approach for the development of a structural health monitoring and diagnostic system that utilizes the recently developed piezo-fibers capable of sensing and actuation. In particular, our research has been focused on producing a sensory nervous system for civil structures by using piezo-fibers as sensory receptors, nerve fibers, neuronal pools, and spinocervical tract to the nodal and central processing units. This paper presents up to date results of our research, including the design and analysis of the structural nervous system.

There have been many homing navigation algorithms for robotic system. In this paper, we suggest a bio-inspired navigation model. It builds path integration based on optical flow. We consider two factors on robot movements, translational movement and rotational movement. For each movement, we found distinguishable optical flows. Based on optical flow, we estimate ego-centric robot movement and integrate the path optimally. We can determine the homing direction and distance. We test this algorithm and evaluate the performance of homing navigation for robotic system.

본 논문에서는 미래의 네트워크 모델에 적합하도록 설계한 생태계 모방 임베디드 미들웨어(BIEM : Bio Inspired Embedded Middleware)를 구현하고, 그의 구조와 특성을 기술하며, 성능을 평가하여 BIEM의 정확성을 검증한다. BIEM의 정확성을 검증하기 위해, BIEM 위에서 응용프로그램을 실행시켰을 때와 독립적으로 일반적인 해를 구했을 때의 결과를 비교한다. 또한 서비스 제공을 위해 요구되는 통신오버헤드를 측정하여, 오버헤드가 네트워크 트래픽에 얼마나 영향을 미칠지에 대해서 알아보고, 마지막으로는 이주서비스에 소요되는 시간을 비교 및 분석한다. 이를 통해, BIEM이 미래 네트워크에 이용될 수 있는 하나의 시스템임을 결론지을 수 있다.

Networks in Mobile ad hoc contain distribution and do not have a predefined structure which practically means that network modes can play the role of being clients or servers. The routing protocols used in mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are characterized by limited bandwidth, mobility, limited power supply, and routing protocols. Hybrid routing protocols solve the delay problem of reactive routing protocols and the routing overhead of proactive routing protocols. The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is used to solve other real-life problems such as the travelling salesman problem, capacity planning, and the vehicle routing challenge. Bio-inspired methods have probed lethal in helping to solve the problem domains in these networks. Hybrid routing protocols combine the distance vector routing protocol (DVRP) and the link-state routing protocol (LSRP) to solve the routing problem.
