Using explosions to power a soft robot.
This manuscript describes the use of explosions to power a soft robot—one composed solely of organic elastomers (e.g., silicones). The robot has three pneumatic actuators (pneu-nets) in a tripedal configuration. Explosion of a stoichiometric mixture of methane and oxygen within the microchannels making up the actuators produced hot gas that rapidly inflated the pneu-nets, and caused the robot t...
متن کاملGRB as explosions with standard power
We show that the distribution of observed energies of GRB with known redshifts can be explained by the hypothesis of the standard energy release E 0 = 5×10 51 ergs. Two situations are possible, either the beaming angle differs from burst to burst, or there is a universal emssion diagram in each burst, the observed difference being due to different viewing angles.
متن کاملA Soft Electronics-Free robot
Biomimetic, entirely soft robots with animal-like behavior and integrated artificial nervous systems will open up totally new perspectives and applications. However, until now all presented studies on soft robots were limited to partly soft designs, since all designs at least needed conventional, stiff, electronics to sense, process signals and activate actuators. We present the first soft robo...
متن کاملA 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 کاملUsing a Neural Network instead of IKM in 2R Planar Robot to follow rectangular path
Abstract— An educational platform is presented here for the beginner students in the Simulation and Artificial Intelligence sciences. It provides with a start point of building and simulation of the manipulators, especially of 2R planar Robot. It also displays a method to replace the inverse kinematic model (IKM) of the Robot with a simpler one, by using a Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network ...
