Crawling and Jumping by a Deformable Robot
We describe crawling and jumping by a deformable robot. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg mechanisms. This paper presents an alternative method of moving over rough terrain, one that employs deformation. First, we describe the principle of crawling and jumping as performed through deformation of a robot body. Second, in a phy...
متن کاملSoft Components for Soft Robots
Typical robot platforms comprise rigid links with fixed degrees-offreedom, solid blocks of transmission and actuator, and superficial positioning of sensors: they are often optimized for the given design criteria but are unable to execute instantaneous changes to the robot's initial mechanism design. The reallife incidences, however, require robots to face complex situations filled with unprogr...
متن کاملMinimalist Jumping Robots for Celestial Exploration
In this paper we describe a novel approach to the design and deployment of small and minimally actuated jumping or hopping robots that are suitable for exploring the unstructured terrains of celestial bodies. We introduce the basic jumping mobility paradigm, as well as the evolution of our hopping robot concept by way of the main prototypes that we have developed. These prototypes show that a s...
متن کاملMotion Tracking for Dynamic Analysis of Jumping and Flying Robots
The development of small, active robots is built around an iterative process of design, modeling, and verification. Accurate knowledge of vehicle position and velocity is crucial to verification, and so is essential for closing the loop of this iterative process. In this paper we present a method for detecting robust fiducials from a video of a robot moving in the image plane. We combine image ...
متن کاملFeature Extraction for Terrain Classification with Crawling Robots
In this paper, we address the problem of terrain classification using a technically blind hexapod walking robot. The proposed approach is built on top of the existing method based on analysis of the feedback from the robot’s actuators and the desired trajectory. The formed method uses features for the Support Vector Machine classification method that assumes a regular time-invariant gait to con...
