Power-Efficient Actuation for Insect-Scale Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Cody R. Longwell, Conor K. Trygstad, Nestor O. Perez-Arancibia
We present a new evolution of the Very Little Eel-Inspired roBot, the VLEIBot++, a 900-mg swimmer driven by two 10-mg bare high-work density (HWD) actuators, whose functionality is…
Closed-Loop Stability of a Lyapunov-Based Switching Attitude Controller for Energy-Efficient Torque-Input-Selection During Flight
Francisco M. F. R. Gonçalves, Ryan M. Bena, Néstor O. Pérez-Arancibia
We present a new Lyapunov-based switching attitude controller for energy-efficient real-time selection of the torque inputted to an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) during flight. The…
A New 1-mg Fast Unimorph SMA-Based Actuator for Microrobotics
Conor K. Trygstad, Xuan-Truc Nguyen, Nestor O. Perez-Arancibia
We present a new unimorph actuator for micro-robotics, which is driven by thin shape-memory alloy (SMA) wires. Using a passive-capillary-alignment technique and existing SMA-micros…
