Research describes a computational model that captures the intricate muscular architecture of an octopus arm. Mechanical engineering PhD candidate Arman Tekinalp, fellow graduate student Seung Hyun ...
Octopus arms can detect and respond to chemical signals from prey without waiting for instructions from the brain.
The team's modeling approach is significant to advancement in robotics, dynamics and control systems. The model is in turn used to explain how structural mechanics dramatically simplify the control of ...
