A Simulation Environment for Undulatory Locomotion
This paper presents a block-based simulation environment, developed on top of Matlab/SimulinkTM to facilitate research into various aspects of undulatory robotic locomotion in biology and robotics, including assessing the effect of different body configurations on gait generation. Simulations of snake-like mechanisms are made in this environment by connecting customisable body segment blocks vi...
متن کاملSimuun: a Simulation Environment for Undulatory Locomotion
This paper presents SIMUUN, a block-based simulation environment, which has been developed on top of Matlab/SimulinkTM, in order to facilitate research into various aspects of undulatory locomotion in biology and robotics. Simulations of snake-like mechanisms are set up in this environment by connecting customizable SIMUUN body segment modules via appropriate joint blocks, which are activated e...
متن کاملUndulatory locomotion of polychaete annelids:
The undulatory locomotion of polychaete annelid worms is studied as a biological paradigm of a versatile body morphology and effective motion control, adaptable to a large variety of unstructured and tortuous environmental conditions (water, sand, mud, sediment, etc.). Computational models of this type of locomotion have been developed, based on the Lagrangian dynamics of the system, on resisti...
متن کاملThe Geometric Mechanics of Undulatory Robotic Locomotion
This paper uses geometric methods to study basic problems in the mechanics and control of locomotion. We consider in detail the case of \undulatory locomotion," in which net motion is generated by coupling internal shape changes with external nonholonomic constraints. Such locomotion problems have a natural geometric interpretation as a connection on a principal ber bundle. The properties of co...
متن کاملGait Regulation for Bipedal Locomotion
This work explores regulation of forward speed, step length, and slope walking for the passive-dynamic class of bipedal robots. Previously, an energy-shaping control for regulating forward speed has appeared in the literature; here we show that control to be a special case of a more general time-scaling control that allows for speed transitions in arbitrary time. As prior work has focused on po...
