“…Nature offers a wide range of inspirations that can be incorporated into different areas of modern technical systems. In the course of biological transformation, i.e., the use of biological materials, structures or processes (Neugebauer 2020), many bio-inspired interfaces and structures have been developed that optimized mechanical properties and enabled new architectural and robotic designs (Huang et al 2019, Shin et al 2019, Fiorello et al 2020, Zimmerman and Abdelkefi 2020, Fratzl et al 2022, Xu et al 2022, Rhee et al 2022. Numerous bio-inspired algorithms have been designed that facilitate artificial systems to selforganize and find the best solutions, eventually leading to artificial or swarm intelligence (Meng et al 2014, Tandiya et al 2019, Filipic ˇet al 2020, Crespo-Mariño and Segura-Castillo 2022.…”

While the demand for electric vehicles (EV) is continuously growing, safety issues still remain, specifically related to fire hazards. This research aims to improve the resilience of battery systems in electric vehicles by transfering concepts found in biology to a bioinspired battery system. Due to the complexity of modern battery systems, the biological concepts cannot be applied directly. A simplified simulation battery system for electric vehicles is modelled, which contains the essential battery components necessary to understand both, software and battery dynamics. This is used as a baseline model to study the effects of typical heat-related disturbances. Subsequently, this simulation model is modified to demonstrate the transfer of biological concepts underlying specifically the hypersensitization and vasospasm mechanisms related to wound healing, and to test the effects of disturbances and alterations comparable to damages caused by vehicle accidents. As a battery system’s mass and volume should not be increased by additonal hardware, the biological concepts target the interaction within, and the composition of, the system, while leaving single components relatively unchanged. It is found that small bioinspired alterations to the battery system can have significant impacts on their vulnerability to common hazards.

“…In addition, when the environmental conditions do not have sufficient sunlight on less sunny days or at night, M. pudica will close its leaves. This efficiency of using its leaves which are only open during the sunny days thereby reduces the risk of predation resulting in a slimmer shape which is an advantage for reducing shocks due to wind blow that can carry dust and improve the leaf aerodynamic properties [7,8]. This type of adaptive movement can be applied to the support structure of solar panels, smart window systems, and various environmental sensors with a biomimetic approach to the principle of mechanoreceptor and actuator organs [9][10][11].…”

Direct contact of random objects from the open environment to the panel surface of an electronic device may reduce the work efficiency and cause permanent damage. However, there is a possible way to solve this problem, notably by implementing an adaptive structure design inspired by plants. The Mimosa pudica plant provides several interesting information on its adaptability. Various studies have been conducted on the electrical properties of its organs explaining the phytoactuator and phytosensor cells that function within it. We combined the use of sensors, actuators, and synthetic excitable tissue as the first robot model purposed to mimic the behavior of the Mimosa pudica plant. The Computer vision method was used to measure leaf angular movement and collected it as plant behavior data based on the mechanical stimulus experiment. The Robot structure has eight arms equipped with sensors, servo motors, and microcontrollers that are operated with two activation system models approach. The first model could imitate the stimulus process received by electronic circuits that generate action potential signals with a maximum voltage of 4.71 to 5.02 Volts and a minimum voltage of -5.33 to -3.45 Volts that propagated from node to node. The second model involves a trained artificial neural network model with a supervised learning pattern that provides 100% accuracy when choosing movement output based on the given combination. This robot imitates the Mimosa pudica’s intelligent sensing capabilities and its ability to change the structure shape based on the thygmonasty experiments data which could provide an overview of how plants process information and perform hazard avoidance actions efficiently. Future applications for the technology inspired by the plant's self-defense mechanisms are adaptive intelligent structures that can protect against harmful conditions, particle contamination, and adjusting panel structure to search for desired environmental parameters.
