Modern Robot Bionic Design Directions and Application Prospects

This paper focuses on bionic robots in the age of intelligence and discusses their research directions and application prospects. Traditional robots often encounter challenges such as poor flexibility and limited sensory and decision-making abilities, which restrict their adaptability to complex and dynamic environments. Bionic robots, inspired by the structures and behaviours of living organisms, offer solutions by enhancing flexibility, perception, and environmental adaptability. Modern bionic principles encompass behavioural patterns, structural bionics, functional bionics, control systems, and new materials. Advanced research fields include bionic sensing systems, such as bionic skin capable of multi-sensory feedback, bionic drive technologies, like flexible drive robots, and the application of new smart materials. These technologies have found applications across a range of sectors, including healthcare, industrial operations, special environment exploration, and national defence, demonstrating significant potential for real-world impact. However, the development of bionic robots still faces challenges, particularly related to high production costs and insufficient adaptability for diverse environments. In the future, research is expected to move toward smarter, more versatile functionalities, with improvements in cost efficiency and system reliability. These advancements are anticipated to drive transformation across multiple industries and contribute to significant breakthroughs in robotic technology. This study provides a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the ongoing research and future development of bionic robots.
