Load-Based Variable Transmission Mechanism for Robotic Applications
Sinan Emre, Victor Barasuol, Matteo Villa +1
This paper presents a Load-Based Variable Transmission (LBVT) mechanism designed to enhance robotic actuation by dynamically adjusting the transmission ratio in response to externa…
Load-bearing Assessment for Safe Locomotion of Quadruped Robots on Collapsing Terrain
Vivian S. Medeiros, Giovanni B. Dessy, Thiago Boaventura +3
Collapsing terrains, often present in search and rescue missions or planetary exploration, pose significant challenges for quadruped robots. This paper introduces a robust locomoti…
Towards Proprioceptive Terrain Mapping with Quadruped Robots for Exploration in Planetary Permanently Shadowed Regions
Alberto Sanchez-Delgado, João Carlos Virgolino Soares, Victor Barasuol +1
Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs) near the lunar poles are of interest for future exploration due to their potential to contain water ice and preserve geological records. Their c…
