Tunable Dynamic Walking via Soft Twisted Beam Vibration
Yuhao Jiang, Fuchen Chen, Daniel M. Aukes
We propose a novel mechanism that propagates vibration through soft twisted beams, taking advantage of dynamically-coupled anisotropic stiffness to simplify the actuation of walkin…
Compliant Fins for Locomotion in Granular Media
Dongting Li, Sichuan Huang, Yong Tang +3
In this paper, we present an approach to study the behavior of compliant plates in granular media and optimize the performance of a robot that utilizes this technique for mobility.…
A Case Study of Spherical Parallel Manipulators Fabricated via Laminate Processes
Mohammad Sharifzadeh, Roozbeh Khodambashi, Daniel Aukes
This paper evaluates how laminated techniques may be used to replicate the performance of more traditionally manufactured robotic manipulators. In this case study, we introduce a l…
On Locomotion of a Laminated Fish-inspired robot in a Small-to-size Environment
Mohammad Sharifzadeh, Roozbeh Khodambashi, Wenlong Zhang +1
Many different robots have been designed and built to work under water. In many cases, researchers have chosen to use bio-inspired platforms. In most cases, the main goal of the fi…
An Integrated Design and Simulation Environment for Rapid Prototyping of Laminate Robotic Mechanisms
Roozbeh Khodambashi, Mohammad Sharifzadeh, Daniel M. Aukes
Laminate mechanisms are a reliable concept in producing lowcost robots for educational and commercial purposes. These mechanisms are produced using low-cost manufacturing technique…
From the Lab to the Desert: Fast Prototyping and Learning of Robot Locomotion
Kevin Sebastian Luck, Joseph Campbell, Michael Andrew Jansen +2
We present a methodology for fast prototyping of morphologies and controllers for robot locomotion. Going beyond simulation-based approaches, we argue that the form and function of…
