By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News – According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained thefollowing quote sourced from bi orxiv.org:“With more than 90,000 muscle fascicles, the elephant trunk is a complex biologi cal structure and thelargest known muscular hydrostat. It achieves an unprecede nted control through intricately orchestratedcontractions of a wide variety of muscle architectures. Fascinated by the elephant trunk\ ’s unique performance,scientists of all disciplines are studying its anatomy, f unction, and mechanics, and use it as aninspiration for biomimetic soft robots. Yet, to date, there is no precise mapping between microstructural muscular acti vity and macrostructural trunk motion, and our understanding of the elephant tru nk remainsincomplete. Specifically, no model of the elephant trunk employs form al physics-based arguments thataccount for its complex muscular architecture, w hile preserving low computational cost, to enable fastscreening of its configur ation space.
