A review on locomotion robophysics: the study of movement at the intersection of robotics, soft matter and dynamical systems
Jeffrey Aguilar, Tingnan Zhang, Feifei Qian +11
In this review we argue for the creation of a physics of moving systems -- a locomotion "robophysics" -- which we define as the pursuit of the discovery of principles of self gener…

Robophysical study of jumping dynamics on granular media
Jeffrey Aguilar, Daniel I. Goldman
Characterizing forces on deformable objects intruding into sand and soil requires understanding the solid and fluid-like responses of such substrates and their effect on the state…

Lift-off dynamics in a simple jumping robot
Jeffrey Aguilar, Alex Lesov, Kurt Wiesenfeld +1
We study vertical jumping in a simple robot comprising an actuated mass-spring arrangement. The actuator frequency and phase are systematically varied to find optimal performance.…
