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…
Aubry-André Localization Transition for an Active Undulator
Christopher J. Pierce, Tianyu Wang, Dmitri Kalinin +2
The transport of deformable self-propelling objects like bacteria, worms, snakes, and robots through heterogeneous environments is poorly understood. In this paper, we use experime…
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…
Dispersion Relations for Active Undulators in Overdamped Environments
Christopher J. Pierce, Daniel Irvine, Lucinda Peng +3
Organisms that locomote by propagating waves of body bending can maintain performance across heterogeneous environments by modifying their gait frequency or wavenumber . We…
Roadmap for Animate Matter
Giorgio Volpe, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Maria Guix +37
Humanity has long sought inspiration from nature to innovate materials and devices. As science advances, nature-inspired materials are becoming part of our lives. Animate materials…
AquaMILR: Mechanical intelligence simplifies control of undulatory robots in cluttered fluid environments
Tianyu Wang, Nishanth Mankame, Matthew Fernandez +2
While undulatory swimming of elongate limbless robots has been extensively studied in open hydrodynamic environments, less research has been focused on limbless locomotion in compl…
