Software techniques for two- and three-dimensional kinematic measurements of biological and biomimetic systems

Tyson L. Hedrick · 1 Jul 2008

Researchers studying aspects of locomotion or movement in biological and biomimetic systems commonly use video or stereo video recordings to quantify the behaviour of the system in question, often with an emphasis on measures of position, velocity and acceleration. However, despite the apparent simplicity of video analysis, it can require substantial investment of time and…

GoQBot: a caterpillar-inspired soft-bodied rolling robot

Huai-Ti Lin, Gary G. Leisk, Barry A. Trimmer · 26 Apr 2011

Rolling locomotion using an external force such as gravity has evolved many times. However, some caterpillars can curl into a wheel and generate their own rolling momentum as part of an escape repertoire. This change in body conformation occurs well within 100 ms and generates a linear velocity over 0.2 m s(-1), making it one…

Design and control of a bio-inspired soft wearable robotic device for ankle–foot rehabilitation

Yong‐Lae Park, Bor‐Rong Chen, Néstor O. Pérez-Arancibia et al. · 16 Jan 2014

We describe the design and control of a wearable robotic device powered by pneumatic artificial muscle actuators for use in ankle-foot rehabilitation. The design is inspired by the biological musculoskeletal system of the human foot and lower leg, mimicking the morphology and the functionality of the biological muscle-tendon-ligament structure. A key feature of the device…

A survey on dielectric elastomer actuators for soft robots

Guoying Gu, Jian Zhu, Li-Min Zhu et al. · 23 Jan 2017

Conventional industrial robots with the rigid actuation technology have made great progress for humans in the fields of automation assembly and manufacturing. With an increasing number of robots needing to interact with humans and unstructured environments, there is a need for soft robots capable of sustaining large deformation while inducing little pressure or damage when…

An octopus-bioinspired solution to movement and manipulation for soft robots

Marcello Calisti, Michele Giorelli, Guy Levy et al. · 13 Jun 2011

Soft robotics is a challenging and promising branch of robotics. It can drive significant improvements across various fields of traditional robotics, and contribute solutions to basic problems such as locomotion and manipulation in unstructured environments. A challenging task for soft robotics is to build and control soft robots able to exert effective forces. In recent…

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Bioinspiration & Biomimetics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Bioinspiration & Biomimetics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Bioinspiration & Biomimetics use?
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Bioinspiration & Biomimetics 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Bioinspiration & Biomimetics?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Bioinspiration & Biomimetics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Bioinspiration & Biomimetics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Bioinspiration & Biomimetics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Bioinspiration & Biomimetics?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Bioinspiration & Biomimetics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Bioinspiration & Biomimetics template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
