Bio-inspired tail oscillation enables robot fast crawling on deformable granular terrains
Shipeng Liu, Meghana Sagare, Shubham Patil +1
Deformable substrates such as sand and mud present significant challenges for terrestrial robots due to complex robot-terrain interactions. Inspired by mudskippers, amphibious anim…
Safe Active Navigation and Exploration for Planetary Environments Using Proprioceptive Measurements
Matthew Jiang, Shipeng Liu, Feifei Qian
Legged robots can sense terrain through force interactions during locomotion, offering more reliable traversability estimates than remote sensing and serving as scouts for guiding…
Effect of Gait Design on Proprioceptive Sensing of Terrain Properties in a Quadrupedal Robot
Ethan Fulcher, J. Diego Caporale, Yifeng Zhang +2
In-situ robotic exploration is an important tool for advancing knowledge of geological processes that describe the Earth and other Planetary bodies. To inform and enhance operation…
Adaptive Locomotion on Mud through Proprioceptive Sensing of Substrate Properties
Shipeng Liu, Jiaze Tang, Siyuan Meng +1
Muddy terrains present significant challenges for terrestrial robots, as subtle changes in composition and water content can lead to large variations in substrate strength and forc…
Effect of Adaptive Communication Support on LLM-powered Human-Robot Collaboration
Shipeng Liu, FNU Shrutika, Boshen Zhang +3
Effective human-robot collaboration requires robot to adopt their roles and levels of support based on human needs, task requirements, and complexity. Traditional human-robot teami…
