Bio-inspired robotics enabled schemes in blockchain-fog-cloud assisted IoMT environment

Abdullah Lakhan et al.

Summary: With the emerging developments in sports games, there has been a progressive increase in the usage of bio-ankle sensors. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an emerging network that enhances the performance of bio-inspired sensors in the fog-cloud network. However, workflow-enabled bio-inspired sensors tasks in IoMT face challenges such as cost-efficient scheduling, security, and data validation in distributed hospitals. This paper proposes bio-inspired robotics-enabled schemes in the blockchain-fog-cloud-assisted IoMT environment, aiming to minimize execution cost and blockchain of applications. The simulation results demonstrate significant cost reductions compared to existing bio-inspired healthcare systems.

Summary: This paper successfully mimics the motion of myriapods by using a combination of mechanical arms and neural circuits. Through numerical simulations, it is found that the neural circuits can be coupled to the mechanical arms and exhibit different states of motion. The communication between neurons does not lose amplitude when they are in the excitable state, similar to the motion of the mechanical legs.

Efficient autonomous navigation for terrestrial insect-machine hybrid systems

H. Duoc Nguyen et al.

Summary: Biohybrid systems combine living materials with synthetic devices, enabling the use of both organic and artificial advantages in one entity. In the context of centimeter-scaled mobile robots for unstructured terrain navigations, biohybrid systems offer potential solutions through the fusion of living insects and miniature electronic devices. Despite their ability to be controlled through electrical stimulation, the hybrid systems still benefit from the insects' exceptional locomotory skills, making them suitable for complex terrains. However, achieving efficient autonomous navigation remains challenging.

Coupled Memristor Oscillators for Neuromorphic Locomotion Control: Modeling and Analysis

Akhil Bonagiri et al.

Summary: The development of nonlinear dynamical electronic devices and circuits has made it possible to implement energy-efficient hardware realizations of neurobiological systems. Central pattern generator (CPG) is a neural system that controls rhythmic motor behaviors in animals. A compact and energy-efficient hardware platform for implementing neuromorphic CPGs would greatly benefit bio-inspired robotics. In this study, we demonstrate that four capacitively coupled VO2 memristor-based oscillators can produce spatiotemporal patterns corresponding to quadruped gaits and show similarities to conductance-based neuron models.

The hysteresis of current-voltage characteristics in resistive-capacitive shunted JJ with unharmonic current-phase relation is highly sensitive to the unharmonic parameter. The system exhibits various oscillation modes and chaotic attractors, which are dependent on the modulation and unharmonic parameters.

Denis Crete et al.

Summary: Arrays of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) are highly sensitive magnetometers that can measure absolute magnetic fields with dynamic range scaling as the number of SQUIDs they contain. However, the layout of the arrays can impact the symmetry required for eliminating adverse self-field effects, requiring a design for partial compensation of the self-field. Additionally, arrays of long Josephson junctions may outperform arrays of SQUIDs depending on the technology used.

Suppressing Chaos in Josephson Junction Model with Coexisting Attractors and Investigating Its Collective Behavior in a Network

Balamurali Ramakrishnan et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the controls of chaotic and coexisting attractors and collective dynamics in the linear resistive-capacitive-inductive shunted Josephson junction (LRCISJJ) model. A single feedback controller is designed to control chaos in the LRCISJJ model, and analytical calculations along with numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of this controller. Furthermore, the coexistence between chaotic and limit cycle attractors is disrupted and controlled using the linear augmentation control method. Additionally, a 2D lattice array of the LRCISJJ model is utilized to study network behaviors, such as spiral wave formation in the presence of heterogeneity, and excitability heterogeneity in the network is confirmed through the periods of each node showing periodicity patterns.
