A Resilient, Untethered Soft Robot
A pneumatically powered, fully untethered mobile soft robot is described. Composites consisting of silicone elastomer, polyaramid fabric, and hollow glass microspheres were used to fabricate a sufficiently large soft robot to carry the miniature air compressors, battery, valves, and controller needed for autonomous operation. Fabrication techniques were developed to mold a 0.65-meter-long soft ...
متن کاملA Steerable, Untethered, 250 × 60µm MEMS Mobile Micro-Robot
We present a steerable, electrostatic, untethered, MEMS micro-robot, with dimensions of 60 μm by 250 μm by 10 μm. This micro-robot is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude smaller in size than previous micro-robotic systems. The device consists of a curved, cantilevered steering arm, mounted on an untethered scratch drive actuator. These two components are fabricated monolithically from the same sheet of ...
متن کاملA Collision-resilient Flying Robot
Flying robots that can locomote efficiently in GPS-denied cluttered environments have many applications, such as in search and rescue scenarios. However, dealing with the high amount of obstacles inherent to such environments is a major challenge for flying vehicles. Conventional flying platforms cannot afford to collide with obstacles, as the disturbance from the impact may provoke a crash to ...
متن کاملModeling and Experimental Characterization of an Untethered Magnetic Micro-Robot
Here we present the control, performance and modeling of an untethered electromagnetically actuated magnetic micro-robot. The microrobot, which is composed of neodymium–iron–boron with dimensions 250 m 130 m 10 m, is actuated by a system of six macroscale electromagnets. Periodically varying magnetic fields are used to impose magnetic torques, which induce stick–slip motion in the micro-robot. ...
متن کاملResilient Middleware for a Multi-Robot Team
This paper addresses a resilient cooperative engine for robot teams within the context of the surveillance of physical areas. Due to the unreliability in the wireless communication between robots, a middleware must offer some resilience to the control application and guarantee that the robots never collide. We present an architecture for the robots to share a common view and to handle new event...
