The effects of kinematics, flexibility, and planform on the vortex formation and aerodynamic performance of flapping wing flight

Alexander Gehrke

In this thesis, the aerodynamic challenges in flapping wing flight are addressed.In particular, the effects of different wing kinematics, flexibilities, and planforms on the the leading edge vortex development and aerodynamic performance are investigated.I ...

Aeroelastic characterisation of a bio-inspired flapping membrane wing

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Alexander Gehrke, Esra Uksul, Jules Ange Philippe Richeux

Natural fliers like bats exploit the complex fluid-structure interaction between their flexible membrane wings and the air with great ease. Yet, replicating and scaling the balance between the structural and fluid-dynamical parameters of unsteady membrane ...

Theory and application of a data-driven approach to compressive spectrometry in the assessment of neurophotic stimulation

Forrest Simon Webler

Recent advances in biology and neuroscience have elucidated pathways in which visible light initiates a signaling process, via the eye, responsible for activating direct and indirect biological responses. While the full impact of unnatural light patterns ...

To regenerate or not to regenerate: Vertebrate model organisms of regeneration-competency and -incompetency

Can Aztekin

Why only certain species can regenerate their appendages (e.g. tails and limbs) remains one of the biggest mysteries of nature. Unlike anuran tadpoles and salamanders, humans and other mammals cannot regenerate their limbs, but can only regrow lost digit t ...

Blind as a Bat: Audible Echolocation on Small Robots

Martin Vetterli, Mihailo Kolundzija, Adrien Guillaume Olivier Hoffet, Adam James Scholefield, Frederike Dümbgen

For safe and efficient operation, mobile robots need to perceive their environment, and in particular, perform tasks such as obstacle detection, localization, and mapping. Although robots are often equipped with microphones and speakers, the audio modality ...

Sprawling Quadruped Robot Driven by Decentralized Control With Cross-Coupled Sensory Feedback Between Legs and Trunk

Auke Ijspeert, Shura Suzuki

Quadruped animals achieve agile and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts, such as the trunk, head, and tail, that is, body-limb coordination. This study aims to understand the sensorimotor control und ...

Investigation of effective processes parameters on lead (II) adsorption from wastewater by biochar in mild air oxidation pyrolysis process

Mohsen Talebkeikhah, Farzaneh Talebkeikhah, Mohammad Torkashvand

This study evaluates and compares several machine learning methods on the effects of different parameters in lead adsorption capacity. pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and initial lead concentration were considered as inputs and adsorption capacity was r ...

Decentralized control with cross-coupled sensory feedback between body and limbs in sprawling locomotion

Auke Ijspeert, Shura Suzuki

Quadrupeds achieve rapid and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts such as their trunk, head, and tail, i.e. body-limb coordination. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism underlying body-l ...

A multidirectional gravity-assist algorithm that enhances locomotor control in patients with stroke or spinal cord injury

Auke Ijspeert, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Joachim von Zitzewitz, Nicolas Francis Fumeaux, Marco Capogrosso, Rubia van den Brand, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, Selin Anil, Jessica Lanini

Gait recovery after neurological disorders requires remastering the interplay between body mechanics and gravitational forces. Despite the importance of gravity-dependent gait interactions and active participation for promoting this learning, these essenti ...
