Mechanics-based Analysis on Flagellated Robots
Yayun Du, Andrew Miller, M. Khalid Jawed
We explore the locomotion of soft robots in granular medium (GM) resulting from the elastic deformation of slender rods. A low-cost, rapidly fabricable robot inspired by the physio…
Automated stability testing of elastic rods with helical centerlines using a robotic system
Dezhong Tong, Andy Borum, M. Khalid Jawed
Experimental analysis of the mechanics of a deformable object, and particularly its stability, requires repetitive testing and, depending on the complexity of the object's shape, a…
A Low-cost Robot with Autonomous Recharge and Navigation for Weed Control in Fields with Narrow Row Spacing
Yayun Du, Bhrugu Mallajosyula, Deming Sun +5
Modern herbicide application in agricultural settings typically relies on either large scale sprayers that dispense herbicide over crops and weeds alike or portable sprayers that r…
Simple Flagellated Soft Robot for Locomotion near Air-Fluid Interface
Yayun Du, Andrew Miller, Mohammad Khalid Jawed
A wide range of microorganisms, e.g. bacteria, propel themselves by rotation of soft helical tails, also known as flagella. Due to the small size of these organisms, viscous forces…
Modeling the locomotion of articulated soft robots in granular medium
Yayun Du, Jacqueline Lam, Karunesh Sachanandani +1
Soft robots, in contrast to their rigid counter parts, have infinite degrees of freedom that are coupled with their interaction with the environment. We consider the locomotion of…
