Evolution of prehension ability in an anthropomorphic neurorobotic arm

Gianluca Massera, Gianluca Massera, Angelo Cangelosi, Stefano Nolfi • Frontiers in Neurorobotics (2007)

In this paper, we show how a simulated anthropomorphic robotic arm controlled by an artificial neural network can develop effective reaching and grasping behaviour through a trial and error process in which the free parameters encode the co...

Snail-inspired water-enhanced soft sliding suction for climbing robots

Tianqi Yue, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha, Jonathan Rossiter • Nature Communications (2024)

Abstract Snails can stably slide across a surface with only a single high-payload sucker, offering an efficient adhesive locomotion mechanism for next-generation climbing robots. The critical factor for snails’ sliding suction behaviour is ...

Laws on Robots, Laws by Robots, Laws in Robots: Regulating Robot Behaviour by Design

Ronald E. Leenes, Federica Lucivero • Law Innovation and Technology (2014)

Speculation about robot morality is almost as old as the concept of a robot itself. Asimov’s three laws of robotics provide an early and well-discussed example of moral rules robots should observe. Despite the widespread influence of the th...
