Abstract

Biomimetics as a functional study of biological systems has inspired the creation of unconventional robots and sensors that outperform traditional ones. Nature provides cues into unique sensing and propulsion mechanisms that are far superior to traditional systems. This chapter describes a harbor seal-inspired whisker sensor, an octopus-inspired robot, a stingray-inspired robot and autonomous robots with biomimetic sensors developed at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology Centre.
