Sea Urchins as an Inspiration for Robotic Designs

Sea Urchins as an Inspiration for Robotic Designs

Neuromorphic engineering is the approach to intelligent machine design inspired by nature. Here, we outline possible robotic design principles derived from the neural and motor systems of sea urchins (Echinoida). Firstly, we review the neurobiology and locomotor systems of sea urchins, with a compar...
