Spiking control systems for soft robotics: a rhythmic case study in a soft robotic crawler
Juncal Arbelaiz, Alessio Franci, Naomi Ehrich Leonard +2
Inspired by spiking neural feedback, we propose a spiking controller to engineer the locomotion of a soft robotic crawler. Its bistability, akin to neural fast positive feedback, c…
Localization Phenomena in Large-Scale Networked Systems: Robustness and Fragility of Dynamics
Poorva Shukla, Bassam Bamieh
We study phenomena where some eigenvectors of a graph Laplacian are largely confined in small subsets of the graph. These localization phenomena are similar to those generally term…
Optimal gait design for nonlinear soft robotic crawlers
Yenan Shen, Naomi Ehrich Leonard, Bassam Bamieh +1
Soft robots offer a frontier in robotics with enormous potential for safe human-robot interaction and agility in uncertain environments. A stepping stone towards unlocking their po…
An Implicit Function Method for Computing the Stability Boundaries of Hill's Equation
Karthik Chikmagalur, Bassam Bamieh
Hill's equation is a common model of a time-periodic system that can undergo parametric resonance for certain choices of system parameters. For most kinds of parametric forcing, st…
Parametric Resonance in Networked Oscillators
Karthik Chikmagalur, Bassam Bamieh
We investigate parametric resonance in oscillator networks subjected to periodically time-varying oscillations in the edge strengths. Such models are inspired by the well-known par…
Optimal estimation in spatially distributed systems: how far to share measurements from?
Juncal Arbelaiz, Bassam Bamieh, Anette E. Hosoi +1
We consider the centralized optimal estimation problem in spatially distributed systems. We use the setting of spatially invariant systems as an idealization for which concrete and…
