Morphing MILR: Design and control of a cable-driven limbless robot with rolling joints for maneuvering in complex environments
Donoven Dortilus, Tianyu Wang, Galen Tunnicliffe +2
Limbless robots offer exceptional mobility in confined and cluttered environments due to their slender bodies and their ability to exploit body-terrain interactions. Recent designs…
Three-dimensional hydro-cluttered locomotion by an undulatory robot
Tianyu Wang, Matthew Fernandez, Galen Tunnicliffe +10
Aquatic robots have expanded human access to underwater environments, yet many underwater spaces contain obstacles that can disrupt open-water locomotion. In "hydro-cluttered" envi…
A Robust Antenna Provides Tactile Feedback in a Multi-legged Robot
Zhaochen J. Xu, Juntao He, Delfin Aydan +5
Multi-legged elongate robots hold promise for maneuvering through complex environments. Prior work has demonstrated that reliable locomotion can be achieved using open-loop body un…
Collision Induced Binding and Transport of Shape Changing Robot Pairs
Akash Vardhan, Ram Avinery, Hosain Bagheri +7
We report in experiment and simulation the spontaneous formation of dynamically bound pairs of shape changing robots undergoing locally repulsive collisions. These physical `glider…
AquaMILR+: Design of an untethered limbless robot for complex aquatic terrain navigation
Matthew Fernandez, Tianyu Wang, Galen Tunnicliffe +4
This paper presents AquaMILR+, an untethered limbless robot designed for agile navigation in complex aquatic environments. The robot features a bilateral actuation mechanism that m…
