The second section in this chapter briefly reviews biomimetic robots using IPMC actuators. Fishlike robots are reviewed firstly. In the experiment of a snake robot, the wave motion grows from the head to the tail even without feedback control. This interesting phenomenon may support a hypothesis that living animals utilize the... [Pg.196]

Biomimetics is the development of novel technologies through the distillation of principles from the study of biological systems (Lepora et al. 2013). Because ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) can be driven by low voltage and usually require water for work (Shahinpoor et al. 1998), it is an attractive idea to use IPMCs for biomimetic robots (Bar-Cohen and Breazeal 2003 Roper et al. 2011 Chu et al. 2012 Kim et al. 2013). [Pg.197]

IPMCs are attractive actuators for biomimetic robots due to its softness and usability in water. Some researches on biomimetic robot have been briefly reviewed in this section, such as flshlike robots, walking robots, and other types of robots. [Pg.201]

This section also intioduced a notable phenomenon of growing wave of a snake robot. The hving animals may utilize the elasticity of their bodies and muscles, as the phenomenon observed in the robot. As well as mimicking functions of living animals, the future direction of the researches on biomimetic robot are expected to reveal the energy-efficient motions of living animals. [Pg.202]

IPMCs are attractive aetuators for biomimetie robots due to flie softness and the abiUty to use in water. Fish robots, snake robots, and walking robots based on the IPMC aetuators have been demonstrated. As well as mimicking functions of Uving animals, the future direetion of the researehes on biomimetic robot are expeeted to reveal the energy-effieient motions of living animals. [Pg.210]
