Semi-supervised Gated Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Terrain Classification
Ahmadreza Ahmadi, Tønnes Nygaard, Navinda Kottege +2
Legged robots are popular candidates for missions in challenging terrains due to the wide variety of locomotion strategies they can employ. Terrain classification is a key enabling…
Autonomous Obstacle Legipulation with a Hexapod Robot
Bethany Lu, Benjamin Tam, Navinda Kottege
Legged robots traversing in confined environments could find their only path is blocked by obstacles. In circumstances where the obstacles are movable, a multilegged robot can mani…
Accessible Torque Bandwidth of a Series Elastic Actuator Considering the Thermodynamic Limitations
Bhanuka Silva, Navinda Kottege
Within the scope of the paper, electromechanical and thermodynamic models are derived for a series elastic actuator and open loop and closed loop torque bandwidth parameters are an…
Bruce -- Design and Development of a Dynamic Hexapod Robot
Ryan Steindl, Thomas Molnar, Fletcher Talbot +4
This paper introduces Bruce, the CSIRO Dynamic Hexapod Robot capable of autonomous, dynamic locomotion over difficult terrain. This robot is built around Apptronik linear series el…
Virtual Surfaces and Attitude Aware Planning and Behaviours for Negative Obstacle Navigation
Thomas Hines, Kazys Stepanas, Fletcher Talbot +5
This paper presents an autonomous navigation system for ground robots traversing aggressive unstructured terrain through a cohesive arrangement of mapping, deliberative planning an…
OpenSHC: A Versatile Multilegged Robot Controller
Benjamin Tam, Fletcher Talbot, Ryan Steindl +2
Multilegged robots have the ability to perform stable locomotion on relatively rough terrain. However, the complexity of legged robots over wheeled or tracked robots make them diff…
