Quadrature Oscillation System for Coordinated Motion in Crawling Origami Robot
Sean Liu, Ankur Mehta, Wenzhong Yan
Origami-inspired robots offer rapid, accessible design and manufacture with diverse functionalities. In particular, origami robots without conventional electronics have the unique…
Self-Deployable, Adaptive Soft Robots Based on Contracting-Cord Particle Jamming
Wenzhong Yan, Brian Ye, Mingxi Li +2
We developed a new class of soft locomotive robots that can self-assemble into a preprogrammed configuration and vary their stiffness afterward in a highly integrated, compact body…
Mechanisms and Computational Design of Multi-Modal End-Effector with Force Sensing using Gated Networks
Yusuke Tanaka, Alvin Zhu, Richard Lin +2
In limbed robotics, end-effectors must serve dual functions, such as both feet for locomotion and grippers for grasping, which presents design challenges. This paper introduces a m…
Self-deployable contracting-cord metamaterials with tunable mechanical properties
Wenzhong Yan, Talmage Jones, Christopher L. Jawetz +3
Recent advances in active materials and fabrication techniques have enabled the production of cyclically self-deployable metamaterials with an expanded functionality space. However…
