A general locomotion control framework for multi-legged locomotors
Baxi Chong, Yasemin O. Aydin, Jennifer M. Rieser +13
Serially connected robots are promising candidates for performing tasks in confined spaces such as search-and-rescue in large-scale disasters. Such robots are typically limbless, a…
Field-mediated locomotor dynamics on highly deformable surfaces
Shengkai Li, Yasemin Ozkan Aydin, Charles Xiao +6
In many systems motion occurs on deformed and deformable surfaces, setting up the possibility for dynamical interactions solely mediated by the coupling of the entities with their…
Geometric phase predicts locomotion performance in undulating living systems across scales
Jennifer M Rieser, Baxi Chong, Chaohui Gong +8
Self-propelling organisms locomote via generation of patterns of self-deformation. Despite the diversity of body plans, internal actuation schemes and environments in limbless vert…
The dynamics of scattering in undulatory active collisions
Jennifer M. Rieser, Perrin E. Schiebel, Arman Pazouki +5
Natural and artificial self-propelled systems must manage environmental interactions during movement. Such interactions, which we refer to as active collisions, are fundamentally d…
Divergence of Voronoi cell anisotropy vector: A threshold-free characterization of local structure in amorphous materials
Jennifer M. Rieser, Carl P. Goodrich, Andrea J. Liu +1
Characterizing structural inhomogeneity is an essential step in understanding the mechanical response of amorphous materials. We introduce a threshold-free measure based on the fie…
Deformation-Driven Diffusion and Plastic Flow in Two-Dimensional Amorphous Granular Pillars
Wenbin Li, Jennifer M. Rieser, Andrea J. Liu +2
We report a combined experimental and simulation study of deformation-induced diffusion in compacted two-dimensional amorphous granular pillars, in which thermal fluctuations play…
Tunable capillary-induced attraction between vertical cylinders
Jennifer M. Rieser, P. E. Arratia, A. G. Yodh +2
Deformation of a fluid interface caused by the presence of objects at the interface can lead to large lateral forces between the objects. We explore these fluid-mediated attractive…
Identifying structural flow defects in disordered solids using machine learning methods
Ekin D. Cubuk, Samuel S. Schoenholz, Jennifer M. Rieser +5
We use machine learning methods on local structure to identify flow defects - or regions susceptible to rearrangement - in jammed and glassy systems. We apply this method successfu…
