The History and Future of Stiquito, a Hexapod Insectoid Robot -- Learning Legged Locomotion -- Salamandra Robotica: a Biologically Inspired Amphibious Robot that Swims and Walks -- Multi-Locomotion Robot: Novel Concept, Mechanism and Control of Bio-Inspired Robot -- Self-Regulatory Hardware: Evolutionary Design for Mechanical Passivity on a Pseudo Passive Dynamic Walker -- Perception for Action in Roving Robots: a Dynamical System Approach -- Nature-Inspired Single-Electron Computers -- Tribolon: Water Based Self-Assembly Robots -- Artificial Symbiosis in Ecobots -- The Phi-Bot: A Robot Controlled by a Slime Mould -- Reaction-Diffusion Controllers for Robots -- Index.
Focusing on topics and areas based on non-traditional thinking, and new and emerging paradigms in bio-inspired robotics, this book examines the design and real-world implementation of artificial life robotic device Hopping, climbing and swimming robots, nano-size neural networks, motorless walkers, slime mould and chemical brains - "Artificial Life Models in Hardware" offers unique designs and prototypes of life-like creatures in conventional hardware and hybrid bio-silicon systems. Ideas and implementations of living phenomena in non-living substrates cast a colourful picture of state-of-art advances in hardware models of artificial life.
