Reconfigurable Auxetic Devices (RADs) for Robotic Surface Manipulation
Jacob Miske, Ahyan Maya, Ahnaf Inkiad +1
Robotic surfaces traditionally use materials with a positive Poisson's ratio to push and pull on a manipulation interface. Auxetic materials with a negative Poisson's ratio may exp…
SCCRUB: Surface Cleaning Compliant Robot Utilizing Bristles
Jakub F. Kowalewski, Keeyon Hajjafar, Alyssa Ugent +1
Scrubbing surfaces is a physically demanding and time-intensive task. Removing adhered contamination requires substantial friction generated through pressure and torque or high lat…
Spring-Brake! Handed Shearing Auxetics Improve Efficiency of Hopping and Standing
Joseph Sullivan, Ian Good, Samuel A. Burden +1
Energy efficiency is critical to the success of legged robotics. Efficiency is lost through wasted energy during locomotion and standing. Including elastic elements has been shown…
Torque Responsive Metamaterials Enable High Payload Soft Robot Arms
Ian Good, Srivatsan Balaji, David Oh +2
Soft robots have struggled to support large forces and moments while also supporting their own weight against gravity. This limits their ability to reach certain configurations nec…
Electrostatic Clutch-Based Mechanical Multiplexer with Increased Force Capability
Timothy E. Amish, Jeffrey T. Auletta, Chad C. Kessens +2
As robotic systems become increasingly articulated, conventional actuation still dedicates one motor to each degree of freedom (DoF). Mechanical multiplexers address this limitatio…
