    Bioinspired conceptual design (BICD): Conceptual design of a grasshopper-like jumping mechanism as a case study
    (2011) Eroglu,A.K.; Erden,Z.; Erden,A.; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering
    The evolution process of nature creates highly effective, power efficient, and perfectly structured biological systems. These excellent systems provide an inexhaustible source for engineers and scientists who desire to inspire ideas, processes, structures, functions, and behaviors from biological domain and implement them into engineering domain. This approach is called "Bioinspired" and challenging for engineers. However, some problems of the practical approaches are observed. One of the problems is "ad hoc" nature of the process. Each bioinspired design product has resulted in a differing design process and a generalization was not possible. Another problem rises due to the terminology difference between engineers and biologists. To overcome these problems, a need for a systematic bioinspired design (BID) process was realized in early 2000s and since then, considerable research on the BID methodology has been progressed. Within the context of BID, this paper introduces a new approach on bioinspired conceptual design (BICD) procedure for hybrid bioinspired robots which can be inspired from multiple biological systems. An illustrative case study is given in the paper.

    BIOINSPIRED CONCEPTUAL DESIGN (BICD): CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A GRASSHOPPER-LIKE JUMPING MECHANISM AS A CASE STUDY

    Biological System Analysis in Bioinspired Conceptual Design (BICD) for Bioinspired Robots
    (Romanian Soc Control Tech informatics, 2011) Eroglu, Aylin Konez; Erden, Zuhal; Erden, Abdulkadir; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering
    Bioinspired design (BID) provides a systematic way for bioinspired applications. Although several BID approaches as well as some tools and databases are available in the literature, the studies on BID are still challenging for designers and/or engineers because of limitations of current BID approaches. There are mainly two directions related with these limitations. One of them is the representation of knowledge on biological systems and the second is the problem of transforming this knowledge into engineering domain. These limitations expose two questions; firstly, "What knowledge is required to describe biological systems?" and "How this knowledge is represented?" and secondly, "How this knowledge is transformed into the engineering domain?". This paper presents a study which aims to answer the first question about knowledge required to represent biological systems. This knowledge is obtained during "Analysis of Biological Systems" stage of a new suggested bioinspired conceptual design (BICD) procedure.

    Biyorobotlar için biyoesinlenmiş kavramsal tasarım metodolojisi
    (2013) Eroğlu, Aylin Konez; Erden, Abdulkadir; Erden, Zühal; Department of Mechatronics Engineering
    Bu tezin ana amacı biyorobot tasarımlarına yönelik olarak Biyoesinlenmiş Kavramsal Tasarım (BİKT) metodolojisi geliştirmektir. Tez kapsamında, varolan Biyobenzetim Tasarım (BİT) yaklaşımlara ve sistematik mühendislik tasarım adımlarına dayanarak yeni bir BİKT prosedürü geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen prosedür, köpek biyorobotu (BioDog) üzerinde yürüme ve tırısa gitme, hamamböceği biyorobotu (BioCoc) üzerinde tırmanma, sıçrama (çekirge) biyorobotu üzerinde zıplama ve melez (köpek- ıstakoz) biyorobotu üzerinde yürüme hareketleri için uygulanmıştır. Örnek çalışmalardan elde edilen geri bildirimler kullanılarak bir BİKT süreci oluşturulmuştur. Hedeflenen BİKT metodolojisini oluşturmak için geliştirilen BİKT süreci, Klasik Ayrık Olay Sistem Spesifikasyonu (AOSS) modeli ile modellenmiştir.Önerilen BİKT metodolojisi, açık ve tam olarak tanımlanmış altı adım ile müşteri ihtiyaçlarını biyorobotun kavramsal tasarımına dönüştürmektedir. Varolan BİT'lerin eksik olan taraflarının giderilmesi amacı ile biyolojik sistem analizi ve biyobenzetim dönüşüm tasarım adımları bu tez çalışması kapsamında detaylı olarak incelenmiştir.Tez çalışmaları sırasında BİKT metodolojisinin tüm adımları tam olarak her ne kadar dört örnek çalışma üzerinde uygulanmış olsa da, on dört farklı biyolojik sistem ve yirmi dört hareket tipi içerik analizi yöntemi ve/veya gözlem yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. İçerik analizi için literatür taraması yapılmış, biyolojik sistemlerin gözlemlenmesi için ise bir deney düzeneği kurulmuştur. Deneyler sırasında biyolojik sistemlerin morfoloji, işlev ve davranışları hakkında gerekli bilgiyi edinmek için hızlı kamera kullanılmıştır. Biyobenzetim dönüşüm adımında, biyolojik sistem hakkındaki bu bilgi sistematik olarak biyorobotun kavramsal tasarımı için gerekli olan biyorobot hakkındaki bilgiye dönüştürülmektedir.
