Aerobat, A Bioinspired Drone to Test High-DOF Actuation and Embodied Aerial Locomotion
Alireza Ramezani, Eric Sihite
This work presents an actuation framework for a bioinspired flapping drone called Aerobat. This drone, capable of producing dynamically versatile wing conformations, possesses 14 b…
Wake-Based Locomotion Gait Design for Aerobat
Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani
Flying animals, such as bats, fly through their fluidic environment as they create air jets and form wake structures downstream of their flight path. Bats, in particular, dynamical…
Unsteady aerodynamic modeling of Aerobat using lifting line theory and Wagner's function
Eric Sihite, Paul Ghanem, Adarsh Salagame +1
Flying animals possess highly complex physical characteristics and are capable of performing agile maneuvers using their wings. The flapping wings generate complex wake structures…
A Letter on Progress Made on Husky Carbon: A Legged-Aerial, Multi-modal Platform
Adarsh Salagame, Shoghair Manjikian, Chenghao Wang +8
Animals, such as birds, widely use multi-modal locomotion by combining legged and aerial mobility with dominant inertial effects. The robotic biomimicry of this multi-modal locomot…
Model Predictive Loitering and Trajectory Tracking of Suspended Payloads in Cable-Driven Balloons Using UGVs
Julius Wanner, Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani +1
The feasibility of performing airborne and ground manipulation, perception, and reconnaissance using wheeled rovers, unmanned aerial vehicles, CubeSats, SmallSats and more have bee…
Bang-Bang Control Of A Tail-less Morphing Wing Flight
Eric Sihite, Xintao Hu, Bozhen Li +3
Bats' dynamic morphing wings are known to be extremely high-dimensional, and they employ the combination of inertial dynamics and aerodynamics manipulations to showcase extremely a…
Efficient Path Planning and Tracking for Multi-Modal Legged-Aerial Locomotion Using Integrated Probabilistic Road Maps (PRM) and Reference Governors (RG)
Eric Sihite, Benjamin Mottis, Paul Ghanem +2
There have been several successful implementations of bio-inspired legged robots that can trot, walk, and hop robustly even in the presence of significant unplanned disturbances. D…
