Role of Compliance on the Locomotion of a Reconfigurable Modular Snake Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Massimo Vespignani, Stéphane Bonardi

This paper presents the results of a study on the effect of in-series compliance on the locomotion of a simulated 8-DoF Lola-OP Modular Snake Robot with added compliant elements. We explore whether there is an optimal stiffness for gait, terrain type, or s ...

Kinematic and gait similarities between crawling human infants and other quadruped mammals

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti

Crawling on hands and knees is an early pattern of human infant locomotion, which offers an interesting way of studying quadrupedalism in one of its simplest form. We investigate how crawling human infants compare to other quadruped mammals, especially pri ...

Performance analysis of jump-gliding locomotion for miniature robotics

Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Recent work suggests that jumping locomotion in combination with a gliding phase can be used as an effective mobility principle in robotics. Compared to pure jumping without a gliding phase, the potential benefits of hybrid jump-gliding locomotion includes ...

Radial Shock Wave Devices Generate Cavitation

Mohamed Farhat, Philipp Kobel

Background Conflicting reports in the literature have raised the question whether radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) devices and vibrating massage devices have similar energy signatures and, hence, cause similar bioeffects in treated tissues. ...

The Design and Control of the Multi-Modal Locomotion Origami Robot, Tribot

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Mohsen Falahi

Origami robots (Robogamis) use architecture to strategically activate different sets and sequence of actuators to achieve large variety of reconfigurable forms. Tribot is a unique mobile origami robot that can simultaneously choose between two modes of loc ...

Where to place cameras on a snake robot: Focus on camera trajectory and motion blur

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Massimo Vespignani, Alexandre Bernardino

Visual information is heavily used in robotics, in particular for SLAM applications. Visual SLAM algorithms depend on robust feature extraction and reliable state estimation. Quality of the visual information highly depends on how that information is captu ...

Chronic multichannel neural recordings from soft regenerative microchannel electrodes during gait

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Marco Capogrosso, Jacopo Rigosa, Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth, Shreya Narasimhan, Katherine Marie Musick

Reliably interfacing a nerve with an electrode array is one of the approaches to restore motor and sensory functions after an injury to the peripheral nerve. Accomplishing this with current technologies is challenging as the electrode-neuron interface ofte ...
