چکیده

This paper describes the kinematic analysis of two different cricket locomotion modalities, and the use of these data in a dynamic simulation to combine and simplify the insect’s complex three-dimensional movements. The results of this simulation will then become the input to the design and control of a microrobot capable of mimicking the walking and jumping behaviors of the cricket.

A review of batting in men's cricket.

In this review, we critically evaluate the scientific research into the morphology and physiology of cricket batsmen. We consider all aspects of the motor control of this skill, in the context of research into dynamic interceptive actions, the biomechanics (kinematics and kinetics) of the various phases of batting strokes and injuries to batsmen. Some attention is also devoted to batting equipm...

Toward Mission Capable Legged Robots through Biological Inspiration

Insects provide good models for the design and control of mission capable legged robots. We are using intelligent biological inspiration to extract the features important for locomotion from insect neuromechanical designs and implement them into legged robots. Each new model in our series of robots represents an advance in agility, strength, or energy efficiency, which are all important for per...

An Omni-directional Wall-climbing Microrobot with Magnetic Wheels Directly Integrated with Electromagnetic Micromotors

This paper presents an omni‐directional wall‐ climbing microrobot with magnetic wheels. The integral design with an actuator and adhesive is realized by integrating stators and rotors of an MEMS‐based electromagnetic micromotor with a magnetic wheel. The omni‐directional wall‐climbing mechanism is designed by a set of steering gears and three standard magnet...

Biomechanics and visual-motor control: how it has, is, and will be used to reveal the secrets of hitting a cricket ball.

Cricket batting is an incredibly complex task which requires the coordination of full-body movements to successfully hit a fast moving ball. Biomechanical studies on batting have helped to shed light on how this intricate skill may be performed, yet the many different techniques exhibited by batters make the systematic examination of batting difficult. This review seeks to critically evaluate t...
