Design and Characterization of 3D Printed, Open-Source Actuators for Legged Locomotion
Karthik Urs, Challen Enninful Adu, Elliott J. Rouse +1
Impressive animal locomotion capabilities are mediated by the co-evolution of the skeletal morphology and muscular properties. Legged robot performance would also likely benefit fr…
Alternative Metrics to Select Motors for Quasi-Direct Drive Actuators
Karthik Urs, Challen Enninful Adu, Elliott J. Rouse +1
Robotic systems for legged locomotion -- including legged robots, exoskeletons, and prosthetics -- require actuators with low inertia and high output torque. Traditionally, motors…
Emulating duration and curvature of coral snake anti-predator thrashing behaviors using a soft-robotic platform
Shannon M. Danforth, Margaret Kohler, Daniel Bruder +4
This paper presents a soft-robotic platform for exploring the ecological relevance of non-locomotory movements via animal-robot interactions. Coral snakes (genus Micrurus) and thei…
Characterizing the limits of human stability during motion: perturbative experiment validates a model-based approach for the Sit-to-Stand task
Patrick D. Holmes, Shannon M. Danforth, Xiao-Yu Fu +2
Falls affect a growing number of the population each year. Clinical methods to identify those at greatest risk for falls usually evaluate individuals while they perform specific mo…
Convex Computation of the Basin of Stability to Measure the Likelihood of Falling: A Case Study on the Sit-to-Stand Task
Victor Shia, Talia Moore, Ruzena Bajcsy +1
Locomotion in the real world involves unexpected perturbations, and therefore requires strategies to maintain stability to successfully execute desired behaviours. Ensuring the saf…
