Simulating Robotic Locomotion in Sand: Resistive Force Theory in an Open-Source Physics Engine
Ryan Walker Brown, Laura K. Treers, Kathryn A. Daltorio
Recent advancements in Resistive Force Theory (RFT) enable approximation of ground reaction forces for locomotion in sand without the computational expense of modeling interactions…
Robot Excavation and Manipulation of Geometrically Cohesive Granular Media
Laura Treers, Daniel Soto, Joonha Hwang +2
Construction throughout history typically assumes that its blueprints and building blocks are pre-determined. However, recent work suggests that alternative approaches can enable n…
The Robustness of Tether Friction in Non-idealized Terrains
Justin J. Page, Laura K. Treers, Steven Jens Jorgensen +2
Reduced traction limits the ability of mobile robotic systems to resist or apply large external loads, such as tugging a massive payload. One simple and versatile solution is to wr…
