Robust bipedal locomotion on flowable slopes via foot-driven terrain manipulation
Deniz Kerimoglu, Junnosuke Kamohara, Jiyeon Maeng +4
The paper studies how adjusting the design and actuation of cleated robot feet can control terrain deformation, enabling small and larger bipedal robots to walk up granular slopes…
Three-dimensional hydro-cluttered locomotion by an undulatory robot
Tianyu Wang, Matthew Fernandez, Galen Tunnicliffe +10
Aquatic robots have expanded human access to underwater environments, yet many underwater spaces contain obstacles that can disrupt open-water locomotion. In "hydro-cluttered" envi…
A Robust Antenna Provides Tactile Feedback in a Multi-legged Robot
Zhaochen J. Xu, Juntao He, Delfin Aydan +5
Multi-legged elongate robots hold promise for maneuvering through complex environments. Prior work has demonstrated that reliable locomotion can be achieved using open-loop body un…
Agile asymmetric multi-legged locomotion: contact planning via geometric mechanics and spin model duality
Jackson Habala, Gabriel B. Margolis, Tianyu Wang +8
Legged robot research is presently focused on bipedal or quadrupedal robots, despite capabilities to build robots with many more legs to potentially improve locomotion performance.…
Optimal swimming with body compliance in an overdamped medium
Jianfeng Lin, Tianyu Wang, Baxi Chong +3
Elongate animals and robots use undulatory body waves to locomote through diverse environments. Geometric mechanics provides a framework to model and optimize such systems in highl…
The Omega Turn: A General Turning Template for Elongate Robots
Baxi Chong, Tianyu Wang, Kelimar Diaz +12
Elongate limbless robots have the potential to locomote through tightly packed spaces for applications such as search-and-rescue and industrial inspections. The capability to effec…
