ARCSnake V2: Mechanical Adaptations For An Amphibious Multi-Domain Screw-Propelled Snake-Like Robot
Sara Wickenhiser, Lizzie Peiros, Calvin Joyce +8
Robotic exploration in extreme environments, such as caves, oceans, and extraplanetary surfaces, poses significant challenges, specifically locomotion across diverse terrains. Conv…
Optimal Motion Scaling for Delayed Telesurgery
Jason Lim, Florian Richter, Zih-Yun Chiu +6
Robotic teleoperation over long communication distances poses challenges due to delays in commands and feedback from network latency. One simple yet effective strategy to reduce er…
SURESTEP: An Uncertainty-Aware Trajectory Optimization Framework to Enhance Visual Tool Tracking for Robust Surgical Automation
Nikhil U. Shinde, Zih-Yun Chiu, Florian Richter +4
Inaccurate tool localization is one of the main reasons for failures in automating surgical tasks. Imprecise robot kinematics and noisy observations caused by the poor visual acuit…
NASU -- Novel Actuating Screw Unit: Origami-inspired Screw-based Propulsion on Mobile Ground Robots
Calvin Joyce, Jason Lim, Roger Nguyen +5
Screw-based locomotion is a robust method of locomotion across a wide range of media including water, sand, and gravel. A challenge with screws is their significant number of impac…
