Biomimetic machines: motivations to the research

Abstract

In this survey paper, we describe the research of biomimetic machines that has been founded at the advanced integration division of SICE. This research committee aims at studying on biomimetic machines, which is not the conventional bionics that fuses the bioengineering and the electronics, rather directs to the realization of a machine and a robot using several biomimetic technologies. We mainly discuss about biomimetic control, biomimetic perception, biomimetic robots and their applications.
