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…
Unsupervised Monocular Depth Learning with Integrated Intrinsics and Spatio-Temporal Constraints
Kenny Chen, Alexandra Pogue, Brett T. Lopez +2
Monocular depth inference has gained tremendous attention from researchers in recent years and remains as a promising replacement for expensive time-of-flight sensors, but issues w…
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…
Risk-Aware Motion Planning for a Limbed Robot with Stochastic Gripping Forces Using Nonlinear Programming
Yuki Shirai, Xuan Lin, Yusuke Tanaka +2
We present a motion planning algorithm with probabilistic guarantees for limbed robots with stochastic gripping forces. Planners based on deterministic models with a worst-case unc…
