Coordinating Spinal and Limb Dynamics for Enhanced Sprawling Robot Mobility
Merve Atasever, Ali Okhovat, Azhang Nazaripouya +4
Sprawling locomotion in vertebrates, particularly salamanders, demonstrates how body undulation and spinal mobility enhance stability, maneuverability, and adaptability across comp…
A variational approach to geometric mechanics for undulating robotic locomotion
Sean Even, Patrick S. Martinez, Cora Keogh +3
Limbless organisms of all sizes use undulating patterns of self-deformation to locomote. Geometric mechanics, which maps deformations to motions, provides a powerful framework to f…
Embodied Design for Enhanced Flipper-Based Locomotion in Complex Terrains
Nnamdi Chikere, John McElroy, Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin
Robots are becoming increasingly essential for traversing complex environments such as disaster areas, extraterrestrial terrains, and marine environments. Yet, their potential is o…
Machine Learning-Driven Burrowing with a Snake-Like Robot
Sean Even, Holden Gordon, Hoeseok Yang +1
Subterranean burrowing is inherently difficult for robots because of the high forces experienced as well as the high amount of uncertainty in this domain. Because of the difficulty…
Adjustbot: Bio-Inspired Quadruped Robot with Adjustable Posture and Undulated Body for Challenging Terradynamic Tasks
Saurav Kumar Dutta, Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin
The ability to modify morphology in response to environmental changes represents a highly advantageous feature in biological organisms, facilitating their adaptation to diverse env…
Locomotion and Obstacle Avoidance of a Worm-like Soft Robot
Sean Even, Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin
This paper presents a soft earthworm robot that is capable of both efficient locomotion and obstacle avoidance. The robot is designed to replicate the unique locomotion mechanisms…
