INTRODUCTION TO BIOROBOTICS BAT BOTS ROBOT SNAKE ROBOT HAND EXOSKELETON

3.  Bat Bot’s silicone
membrane “skin” stretches
over a carbon fiber
skeleton to form flexible
wings.
 Inspired by the powerful and agile
flight of bats, engineers have
designed a self-guided flying robot
that weighs 93 grams called “B2”,
or Bat Bot.
 Several different types of joints
that interlock the bones and
muscles to one another, creating
a muscoskeletal system that is
capable of movement in more
than 40 rotational directions.
 It challenges for robot
modelling, design ad
control.

4. Shaped like a snake or eel, the
device is fitted with a number of
sensors that can reportedly detect
chemical spills and the existence
of poisonous heavy metals in
bodies of water.

5. According to the researchers, using
the form of a snake allows the robot
to navigate freely in many different
environments, including networks of
pipes and the gaps between walls. It
can also climb stairs and trees.
The researchers say that one
of the main reasons the
snake is being developed is
to assist in disaster recovery
by mapping out hard to reach
areas.
The snake could one day become
the pet of ATLAS, the 6-foot, 330
pound humanoid robot by
Boston Dynamics that is also
being developed to assist in
disaster recovery.

6.  Researcher have developed a mind-
controlled robot for the 40%
paraplegics who can still move their
shoulders ad elbows and hate to be
spoon-fed in restaurant.
 This hand exoskeleton which is
controlled via eye movements ad
electrodes attached on the scalp, is
attached to paralyzed limbs.
 The prosthetic hand was tested by six
paraplegics as they went about their
daily lives.
 “They were capable of eating and
drinking in a restaurant without
assistance,” said Soekader, head of the
German neurotechnology lab at the
German University.
 For real compatibility with every day
life, this system needs to capable of
functioning without the help of
researchers.
