Throughout human history,people have always fascinated about creating machines capable of mimicking human behaviors and actions.Recorded in the ancient Chinese bestiary “Shan Hai Jing(The Classic of Mountains and Seas)”,Huang Di(The Yellow Emperor)built and used navigation mobile robots in the battle against an enemy deity named Chi You some 5000 years ago.Since then,many robots,be they imaginative or actual,have been invented and recorded,such as the wooden flying birds of Lu Ban some 2500 years ago that can fly for three days without landing.People’s imagination,fantasy,and desire to invent,build,and use robots have never stopped.With the quickening pace of technological development in the past few decades,research in robotics and AI has in particular reached a new level of attention and involvement.As an intuitive approach,human beings draw their inspiration from the nature and biological systems when inventing,designing,and developing machines and algorithms in the effort to recreate and duplicate their functionalities.
