Biorobotics • Uses solutions developed by nature to solve engineering problems • Help making new kinds of robots • Makes us understand better how biological systems really work www.biorobotics.ttu.ee

Bio-inspired and biomimetic robots • Bio-inspired robots – reproduce the results of biological phenomena without necessarily reproducing the underlying working principles • Biomimetic robots – reproduce also the means of getting the results www.biorobotics.ttu.ee

5.5 Types of bio-inspiration • Bio-inspired morphologies • Bio-inspired sensors • Bio-inspired actuators • Bio-inpired control • Bio-inspired energetics • Bio-inspired robot teams • Bio-hybrid robots www.biorobotics.ttu.ee
