Interdisciplinary Workshop on Mechanical Intelligence: Summary Report
Victoria A. Webster-Wood, Nicholas Gravish, Amir Alavi +37
This report provides a summary of the outcomes of the Interdisciplinary Workshop on Mechanical Intelligence held in 2024. Mechanical Intelligence (MI) represents the phenomenon tha…
Global dynamical structures from infinitesimal data
Benjamin McInroe, Robert J. Full, Daniel E. Koditschek +1
Scientists and engineers alike target modeling of complex, high dimensional, and nonlinear dynamical systems as a central goal. Machine learning breakthroughs alongside mounting co…
Ultra-fast, programmable, and electronics-free soft robots enabled by snapping metacaps
Lishuai Jin, Yueying Yang, Bryan O. Torres Maldonado +4
Soft robots have a myriad of potentials because of their intrinsically compliant bodies, enabling safe interactions with humans and adaptability to unpredictable environments. Howe…
Mechanical principles of dynamic terrestrial self-righting using wings
Chen Li, Chad C. Kessens, Ronald S. Fearing +1
Terrestrial animals and robots are susceptible to flipping-over during rapid locomotion in complex terrains. However, small robots are less capable of self-righting from an upside-…
Terradynamically streamlined shapes in animals and robots enhances traversability through densely cluttered terrain
Chen Li, Andrew O. Pullin, Duncan W. Haldane +3
Many animals, modern aircraft, and underwater vehicles use streamlined body shapes that reduce fluid dynamic drag to achieve fast and effective locomotion in air and water. Similar…
Cockroaches use diverse strategies to self-right on the ground
Chen Li, Toni Wöhrl, Han K. Lam +1
Terrestrial animals often must self-right from an upside-down orientation on the ground to survive. Here, we compared self-righting strategies of the Madagascar hissing, American,…
Comparative Design, Scaling, and Control of Appendages for Inertial Reorientation
Thomas Libby, Aaron M. Johnson, Evan Chang-Siu +2
This paper develops a comparative framework for the design of actuated inertial appendages for planar, aerial reorientation. We define the Inertial Reorientation template, the simp…
