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…
