REMS: Middleware for Robotics Education and Development
Yusuke Tanaka, Ankur Mehta
This paper introduces REMS, a robotics middleware and control framework that is designed to introduce the Zen of Python to robotics and to improve robotics education and developmen…
A crawling robot driven by a folded self-sustained oscillator
Wenzhong Yan, Ankur Mehta
Locomotive robots that do not rely on electronics and/or electromagnetic components will open up new perspectives and applications for robotics. However, these robots usually invol…
Resilient and consistent multirobot cooperative localization with covariance intersection
Tsang-Kai Chang, Kenny Chen, Ankur Mehta
Cooperative localization is fundamental to autonomous multirobot systems, but most algorithms couple inter-robot communication with observation, making these algorithms susceptible…
A Computational Design and Evaluation Tool for 3D Structures with Planar Surfaces
Chang Liu, Wenzhong Yan, Pehuen Moure +2
Three dimensional (3D) structures composed of planar surfaces can be build out of accessible materials using easier fabrication technique with shorter fabrication time. To better d…
Computational Design and Fabrication of Corrugated Mechanisms from Behavioral Specifications
Chang Liu, Wenzhong Yan, Ankur Mehta
Orthogonally assembled double-layered corrugated (OADLC) mechanisms are a class of foldable structures that harness origami-inspired methods to enhance the structural stiffness of…
Towards One-Dollar Robots: An Integrated Design and Fabrication Strategy for Electromechanical Systems
Wenzhong Yan, Ankur Mehta
To improve the accessibility of robotics, we propose a design and fabrication strategy to build low-cost electromechanical systems for robotic devices. Our method, based on origami…
