"The book represents new developments and advances in the field of bio-inspired robotics research introducing the state of the art, the idea of multi-locomotion robotic system to implement the diversity of animal motion. It covers theoretical and computational aspects of Passive Dynamic Autonomous Control (PDAC), robot motion control, multi legged walking and climbing as well as brachiation focusing concrete robot systems, components and applications. In addition, gorilla type robot systems are described as hardware of multi-locomotion robotic system. "

"Bio-inspired design (also called biomimetics or biomimicry) is a promising approach for the development of innovative technical products – not only in mechanical engineering, but also in areas such as material science and even computer engineering. Innovations such as humanoid robots or multifunctional materials have shown the potential of bio-inspired design. However, in industrial companies, bio-inspired design remains an “exotic” approach which is rarely used in innovation practice. One reason for this is a lack of knowledge on how to implement bio-inspired design in practice. Therefore, this guide book was written to explain the application of bio-inspired design methods and tools. The target groups are professional engineers and biologists, as well as students of both disciplines.The book presents a selection of methods for specific activities in bio-inspired design, namely: planning a bio-inspired design project, abstraction, search, analysis and comparison, and transfer of analogies. Factsheets give an overview of each method, its advantages and challenges, and its suitability for different bio-inspired design approaches and scenarios. To facilitate understanding, all methods are explained with the help of the same example. In addition, ten best practice examples show the practical applicability of bio-inspired design."

"The low-cost WirelessSensor Network(WSN) consists of small battery powered devices called sensors, with limitedenergy capacity. Once deployed, accessibility to any sensor node for maintenance and battery replacement is not feasibledue to the spatial scattering of the nodes. This will lead to an unreliable,limited lifetime and a poor connectivity network. In this paper a novel bio-inspired cluster-baseddeployment algorithm is proposed for energy optimization of the WSNand ultimately to improve the network lifetime. In the cluster initializationphase, a singlecluster is formed with a single cluster head at the center of the sensing terrain. Thesecond phase is for optimum cluster formation surroundingthe inner cluster, based on swarming bees and a piping technique. Each cluster member distributesits data to its corresponding cluster head and the cluster head communicateswith the base station, which reduces the communication distance of each node. The simulationresults show that, whencompared with other clustering algorithms, the proposed algorithm can significantly reducethe number of clusters by 38% and improve the network lifetime by a factor of1/4."

In this paper a novel bio-inspired cluster-based deployment algorithm is proposed for energy optimization of the WSN and ultimately to improve the network lifetime. In the cluster initialization phase, a single cluster is formed with a single cluster head at the center of the sensing terrain. The second phase is for optimum cluster formation surrounding the inner cluster, based on swarming bees and a piping technique. Each cluster member distributes its data to its corresponding cluster head and the cluster head communicates with the base station, which reduces the communication distance of each node. The simulation results show that, when compared with other clustering algorithms, the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the number of clusters by 38% and improve the network lifetime by a factor of 1/4."

The 78 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the proceedings. BIONETICS 2010 aimed to provide the understanding of the fundamental principles and design strategies in biological systems and leverage those understandings to build bio-inspired systems"

"The Springer Reference Work Encyclopedia of Robotics addresses the existing need for an easily accessible yet authoritative and granular knowledge resource in robotic science and engineering. The encyclopedia is a work that comprehensively explains the scientific, application-based, interactive, and socio-ethical parameters of robotics. It is the first work that explains at the concept and fact level the state of the field of robotics and its future directions. The encyclopedia is a complement to Springer’s highly successful Handbook of Robotics that has analyzed the state of robotics through the medium of descriptive essays. Organized in an A-Z format for quick and easy understanding of both the basic and advanced topics across a broad spectrum of areas in a self-contained form. The entries in this encyclopedia will be a comprehensive description of terms used in robotics science and technology. Each term, when useful, is described concisely with online illustrations."
