The inversion of motion of bristle bots: analytical and experimental analysis
Giancarlo Cicconofri, Felix Becker, Giovanni Noselli +2
Bristle bots are vibration-driven robots actuated by the motion of an internal oscillating mass. Vibrations are translated into directed locomotion due to the alternating friction…
Motion planning and motility maps for flagellar microswimmers
Giancarlo Cicconofri, Antonio DeSimone
We study two microswimmers consisting of a spherical rigid head and a passive elastic tail. In the first one the tail is clamped to the head, and the system oscillates under the ac…
Motility of a Model Bristle-Bot: a Theoretical Analysis
Giancarlo Cicconofri, Antonio DeSimone
Bristle-bots are legged robots that can be easily made out of a toothbrush head and a small vibrating engine. Despite their simple appearance, the mechanism enabling them to propel…
A Study of Snake-like Locomotion Through the Analysis of a Flexible Robot Model
Giancarlo Cicconofri, Antonio DeSimone
We examine the problem of snake-like locomotion by studying a system consisting of a planar inextensible elastic rod that is able to control its spontaneous curvature. Using a Coss…
