Rollbot 2: Agile Locomotion by a Single-Actuator Spherical Robot
Jingxian Wang*, Chen Yu*, Sam Kriegman +1
Reducing actuator count simplifies robot hardware but also removes independent inputs for maneuvering. The original Rollbot steered by modulating a quasi-stable helical orbit, but…
Agile legged locomotion in reconfigurable modular robots
Chen Yu, David Matthews, Jingxian Wang +4
Legged machines are becoming increasingly agile and adaptive but they have so far lacked the morphological diversity of legged animals, which have been rearranged and reshaped to f…
A Single Motor Nano Aerial Vehicle with Novel Peer-to-Peer Communication and Sensing Mechanism
Jingxian Wang, Andrew G. Curtis, Mark Yim +1
Communication and position sensing are among the most important capabilities for swarm robots to interact with their peers and perform tasks collaboratively. However, the hardware…
Continuous Sculpting: Persistent Swarm Shape Formation Adaptable to Local Environmental Changes
Andrew G. Curtis, Mark Yim, Michael Rubenstein
Despite their growing popularity, swarms of robots remain limited by the operating time of each individual. We present algorithms which allow a human to sculpt a swarm of robots in…
Rollbot: a Spherical Robot Driven by a Single Actuator
Jingxian Wang, Michael Rubenstein
Spherical robots typically require at least two actuators to achieve controlled 2D planar motion. Here we present Rollbot, the first spherical robot capable of controllably maneuve…
