Efficient, Responsive, and Robust Hopping on Deformable Terrain
Daniel J. Lynch, Jason L. Pusey, Sean W. Gart +2
Legged robot locomotion is hindered by a mismatch between applications where legs can outperform wheels or treads, most of which feature deformable substrates, and existing tools f…
Lateral oscillation and body compliance help snakes and snake robots stably traverse large, smooth obstacles
Qiyuan Fu, Sean W. Gart, Thomas W. Mitchel +3
Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Similarly, snake robots hold the promise as a versatile platform to traverse complex environments like earthquake rubble. Unlike snake l…
Body-terrain interaction affects large bump traversal of insects and legged robots
Sean W. Gart, Chen Li
Small animals and robots must often rapidly traverse large bump-like obstacles when moving through complex 3-D terrains, during which, in addition to leg-ground contact, their body…
Dynamic traversal of large gaps by insects and legged robots reveals a template
Sean W. Gart, Changxin Yan, Ratan Othayoth +2
It is well known that animals can use neural and sensory feedback via vision, tactile sensing, and echolocation to negotiate obstacles. Similarly, most robots use deliberate or rea…
Snakes partition their body to traverse large steps stably
Sean W. Gart, Thomas W. Mitchel, Chen Li
Many snakes live in deserts, forests, and river valleys and traverse challenging 3-D terrain like rocks, felled trees, and rubble, with obstacles as large as themselves and variabl…
The collective motion of nematodes in a thin liquid layer
Sean Gart, Dominic Vella, Sunghwan Jung
Many organisms live in confined fluidic environments such as the thin liquid layers on the skin of host organisms or in partially- saturated soil. We investigate the collective beh…
