Modular Self-Lock Origami: design, modeling, and simulation to improve the performance of a rotational joint
Samira Zare, Alex Spaeth, Sandya Suresh +1
Origami structures have been widely explored in robotics due to their many potential advantages. Origami robots can be very compact, as well as cheap and efficient to produce. In p…
A Geometric Kinematic Model for Flexible Voxel-Based Robots
Maryam Tebyani, Alex Spaeth, Nicholas Cramer +1
Voxel-based structures provide a modular, mechanically flexible periodic lattice which can be used as a soft robot through internal deformations. To engage these structures for rob…
Spiking neural state machine for gait frequency entrainment in a flexible modular robot
Alex Spaeth, Maryam Tebyani, David Haussler +1
We propose a modular architecture for neuromorphic closed-loop control based on bistable relaxation oscillator modules consisting of three spiking neurons each. Like its biological…
A Polyaddition Model for the Prebiotic Polymerization of RNA and RNA-like Polymers
Alex Spaeth, Mason Hargrave
Implicit in the RNA world hypothesis is that prebiotic RNA synthesis, despite occurring in an environment without biochemical catalysts, produced the long RNA polymers which are es…
