An Untethered Bioinspired Robotic Tensegrity Dolphin with Multi-Flexibility Design for Aquatic Locomotion
Luyang Zhao, Yitao Jiang, Chun-Yi She +5
This paper presents the first steps toward a soft dolphin robot using a bio-inspired approach to mimic dolphin flexibility. The current dolphin robot uses a minimalist approach, wi…
On the Exploration of LM-Based Soft Modular Robot Design
Weicheng Ma, Luyang Zhao, Chun-Yi She +5
Recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated promising capabilities in modeling real-world knowledge and enhancing knowledge-based generation tasks. In this paper, we furt…
Scalable underwater assembly with reconfigurable visual fiducials
Samuel Lensgraf, Ankita Sarkar, Adithya Pediredla +2
We present a scalable combined localization infrastructure deployment and task planning algorithm for underwater assembly. Infrastructure is autonomously modified to suit the needs…
Buoyancy enabled autonomous underwater construction with cement blocks
Samuel Lensgraf, Devin Balkcom, Alberto Quattrini Li
We present the first free-floating autonomous underwater construction system capable of using active ballasting to transport cement building blocks efficiently. It is the first fre…
