This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact

This book covers three major topics, specifically Biomimetic Robot Design, Mechanical System Design from Bio-Inspiration, and Bio-Inspired Analysis on A Mechanical System. The Biomimetic Robot Design part introduces research on flexible jumping robots, snake robots, and small flying robots, while the Mechanical System Design from Bio-Inspiration part introduces Bioinspired Divide-and-Conquer Design Methodology, Modular Cable-Driven Human-Like Robotic Arm andWall-Climbing Robot. Finally, in the Bio-Inspired Analysis on A Mechanical System part, research contents on the control strategy of Surgical Assistant Robot, modeling of Underwater Thruster, and optimization of Humanoid Robot are introduced.

Technology: general issues --- humanoid robot --- energy efficiency --- Taguchi method --- snake robot --- driving assistant mechanism --- slope --- dynamic analysis --- cable-driven robots --- human-like robotic arms --- human–robot interactions --- stiffness adjustment --- cable tension analysis --- bio-inspired robot --- micro aerial vehicle --- flapping mechanism --- azimuth thruster --- thruster modeling --- signal compression method --- frequency response analysis --- empirical modeling --- wall-climbing robot --- gear transmission --- bionic spine --- electron microscope images --- 3D printing technology --- surgical assistant robot --- remote center motion --- direct teaching --- impedance control --- soft robot --- soft jumping robot --- soft morphing --- residual stress --- magnetic yield point --- curved lever --- lever design methodology --- variable pivot of lever --- n/a --- human-robot interactions
