Towards insect-like distributed proprioception in actuators and appendages for flapping-wing insect-scale aerial robots
Alexander Hedrick, Arvind Gupta, Kaushik Jayaram
Modern flapping-wing insect-scale air vehicles display agility similar to that of their insect counterparts; however, these impressive maneuvers are only possible with off-board se…
Design of a bioinspired robophysical antenna for insect-scale tactile perception and navigation
Parker McDonnell, Lingsheng Meng, Hari Krishna Hariprasad +5
The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) uses its soft antennae to guide decision making by extracting rich tactile information from tens of thousands of distributed mechanos…
mCLARI: a shape-morphing insect-scale robot capable of omnidirectional terrain-adaptive locomotion in laterally confined spaces
Heiko Kabutz, Alexander Hedrick, Parker McDonnell +1
Soft compliant microrobots have the potential to deliver significant societal impact when deployed in applications such as search and rescue. In this research we present mCLARI, a…
Femtosecond laser fabricated nitinol living hinges for millimeter-sized robots
Alexander Hedrick, Heiko Kabutz, Lawrence Smith +2
Nitinol is a smart material that can be used as an actuator, a sensor, or a structural element, and has the potential to significantly enhance the capabilities of microrobots. Femt…
