Wake Vectoring for Efficient Morphing Flight
Ioannis Mandralis, Severin Schumacher, Morteza Gharib
Morphing aerial robots have the potential to transform autonomous flight, enabling navigation through cluttered environments, perching, and seamless transitions between aerial and…
Dynamic Quadrupedal Legged and Aerial Locomotion via Structure Repurposing
Chenghao Wang, Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Shreyansh Pitroda +5
Multi-modal ground-aerial robots have been extensively studied, with a significant challenge lying in the integration of conflicting requirements across different modes of operatio…
Quadrotor Morpho-Transition: Learning vs Model-Based Control Strategies
Ioannis Mandralis, Richard M. Murray, Morteza Gharib
Quadrotor Morpho-Transition, or the act of transitioning from air to ground through mid-air transformation, involves complex aerodynamic interactions and a need to operate near act…
ATMO: An Aerially Transforming Morphobot for Dynamic Ground-Aerial Transition
Ioannis Mandralis, Reza Nemovi, Alireza Ramezani +2
Designing ground-aerial robots is challenging due to the increased actuation requirements which can lead to added weight and reduced locomotion efficiency. Morphobots mitigate this…
Data-Driven Modeling for On-Demand Flow Prescription in Fan-Array Wind Tunnels
Alejandro A. Stefan-Zavala, Isabel Scherl, Ioannis Mandralis +2
Fan-array wind tunnels are an emerging technology to design bespoke wind fields through grids of individually controllable fans. This design is especially suited for the turbulent,…
Self-supervised cost of transport estimation for multimodal path planning
Vincent Gherold, Ioannis Mandralis, Eric Sihite +3
Autonomous robots operating in real environments are often faced with decisions on how best to navigate their surroundings. In this work, we address a particular instance of this p…
How Strong a Kick Should be to Topple Northeastern's Tumbling Robot?
Adarsh Salagame, Neha Bhattachan, Andre Caetano +16
Rough terrain locomotion has remained one of the most challenging mobility questions. In 2022, NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program invited US academic institutions t…
Demonstrating Autonomous 3D Path Planning on a Novel Scalable UGV-UAV Morphing Robot
Eric Sihite, Filip Slezak, Ioannis Mandralis +5
Some animals exhibit multi-modal locomotion capability to traverse a wide range of terrains and environments, such as amphibians that can swim and walk or birds that can fly and wa…
Hovering Control of Flapping Wings in Tandem with Multi-Rotors
Aniket Dhole, Bibek Gupta, Adarsh Salagame +7
This work briefly covers our efforts to stabilize the flight dynamics of Northeastern's tailless bat-inspired micro aerial vehicle, Aerobat. Flapping robots are not new. A plethora…
