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…
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…
Risk-Averse MPC via Visual-Inertial Input and Recurrent Networks for Online Collision Avoidance
Alexander Schperberg, Kenny Chen, Stephanie Tsuei +5
In this paper, we propose an online path planning architecture that extends the model predictive control (MPC) formulation to consider future location uncertainties for safer navig…
