Terradynamics and design of tip-extending robotic anchors
Deniz Kerimoglu, Nicholas D. Naclerio, Sean Chu +5
Most engineered pilings require substantially more force to be driven into the ground than they can resist during extraction. This requires relatively heavy equipment for insertion…
High-curvature, high-force, vine robot for inspection
Mijaíl Jaén Mendoza, Nicholas D. Naclerio, Elliot W. Hawkes
Robot performance has advanced considerably both in and out of the factory, however in tightly constrained, unknown environments such as inside a jet engine or the human heart, cur…
A Dexterous Tip-extending Robot with Variable-length Shape-locking
Sicheng Wang, Ruotong Zhang, David A. Haggerty +2
Soft, tip-extending "vine" robots offer a unique mode of inspection and manipulation in highly constrained environments. For practicality, it is desirable that the distal end of th…
An entrainment-based model for annular wakes, with applications to airborne wind energy
Sam Kaufman-Martin, Nicholas Naclerio, Pedro May +1
Several novel wind energy systems produce wakes with annular cross-sections, which are qualitatively different from the wakes with circular cross-sections commonly generated by con…
Vine Robots: Design, Teleoperation, and Deployment for Navigation and Exploration
Margaret M. Coad, Laura H. Blumenschein, Sadie Cutler +7
A new class of continuum robots has recently been explored, characterized by tip extension, significant length change, and directional control. Here, we call this class of robots "…
