  • 본 논문에서는 생체모방기술을 적용한 로봇제어방법에 대해 기술한다 물방개의 유영동작을 모방하고 발생시키기 위해 푸리에 최소자승기법을 적용하여 일반식을 정립하였다. 일반식의 계수의 값을 조정하여 관측된 물방개의 유영동작과 발생시킨 모방동작의 비교를 통해 제어 파라미터가 정의되었으며 각 파라미터들의 상관관계를 밝히고 이를 파라미터 공간상에 표현하여 다양한 생체모방 동작을 쉽게 발생시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 추가로, 생물체의 구조적인 장점을 반영한 로봇설계에 대해 간략히 소개하였고 제안한 생체모방 발생기법은 다양한 환경에서의 로봇시스템 개발에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • Live-line maintenance for electric power lines is very dangerous because of their ultra-high voltage environments and the risks of falling from heights. Recently, drone technology has been spotlighted due to its maneuverability and stable controllability, and has been being applied to maintenance works in the electric power industry. This paper presents a new type of drone that can be transformable by introducing biomimetics to its mechanism and can run on an overhead ground wire as well as it can fly. Its technical feasibility was confirmed through experiments.

  • This paper considers the potential impact of biological approaches such as bio-copying (biomimetics) and biomanipulating (e.g. genetic engineering) on future developments in the field of textiles and, in particular, fibres. If analytical tools for studying biological systems combined with those of materials science are further developed, and higher efficiency and reproducibility of genetic engineering technology can be achieved, the potential for the copying and manipulation of nature for textile innovations will be immense. The present state for both fields is described with examples such as touch and close fastener, structurally coloured fibres, the Lotus of lect (for bio-copying), as well as herbicide tolerant cotton, insecticide resistant cotton (Bt cotton), cotton polyester bicomponent fibres, genetically engineered silkworm and silk protein, and spider fibres. (for genetic engineering).

  • "Biomimetics" is the study and simulation of biological systems with desired properties. In recent times, biomimetic surfaces have emerged as novel solutions for tribological applications in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). These biomimetic surfaces are attractive for MEMS application as they exhibit low adhesion/friction and wear properties at small-scales. In this paper, we present some of the examples of biomimetic surfaces that have potential application in small-scale devices.

  • Recent years have witnessed speed up of moving vehicles such as high-speed of trains. Increase in speed entails concomitant increase in turbulent air flow which contributes toward aerodynamic noise. The proposed method for aerodynamic noise reduction is based on a biomimetic design of owl feather. The five morphological parameters of the owl feather is extracted from close observation, and simulation cases are constructed by applying design of experiments methodology. Swirling strength for each case is obtained through steady-state CFD analysis, and key morphological parameters that affect the turbulence are identified. Large eddy simulations (LES) are then performed on selected cases to predict the air turbulence. Different cases show varying vorticity distribution levels which is expected to lead to varying aerodynamic noise levels.

  • Over 3.8 billion years, through evolution nature came up with many effective continually improving solutions to its challenges. Humans have always been inspired by nature capabilities in problems solving and innovation. These efforts have been intensified in recent years where systematic studies are being made towards better understanding and applying more sophisticated capabilities in this field that is increasingly being titled biomimetics. The ultimate challenge to this field is the development of humanlike robots that talk, interpret speech, walk, as well as make eye-contact and facial expressions with some capabilities that are exceeding the original model from nature. This includes flight where there is no creature that is as large, can fly as high, carry so heavy weight, fly so fast, and able to operate in extreme conditions as the aircraft and other aerospace systems. However, there are many capabilities of biological systems that are not feasible to mimic using the available technology. In this paper, the state-of-the-art of some of the developed biomimetic capabilities, potentials and challenges will be reviewed.
