Bridging Walking and Slithering -- Stokesian Locomotion
Shai Revzen, Dan Zhao, Glenna Clifton +2
Both legged locomotion and slithering motions typically utilize periodic gaits -- repeating cycles of body shape change that produce a net motion through the world. Legged locomoti…
Dimensional analysis of spring-wing systems reveals performance metrics for resonant flapping-wing flight
James Lynch, Jeffrey Gau, Simon Sponberg +1
Flapping-wing insects, birds, and robots are thought to offset the high power cost of oscillatory wing motion by using elastic elements for energy storage and return. Insects posse…
Collective synchronization of undulatory movement through contact
Wei Zhou, Zhuonan Hao, Nick Gravish
Many biological systems synchronize their movement through physical interactions. By far the most well studied examples concern physical interactions through a fluid: beating cilia…
Flexoskeleton printing for versatile insect-inspired robots
Mingsong Jiang, Ziyi Zhou, Nicholas G. Gravish
One of the many secrets to the success and prevalence of insects is their versatile, robust, and complex exoskeleton morphology. A fundamental challenge in insect-inspired robotics…
Drag induced lift in granular media
Yang Ding, Nick Gravish, Daniel I. Goldman
Laboratory experiments and numerical simulation reveal that a submerged intruder dragged horizontally at constant velocity within a granular medium experiences a lift force whose s…
