Design and development of the efficient anguilliform swimming robot- MAR

Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert, Anouk Looijestijn

Propulsion of swimming robots at the surface and underwater is largely dominated by rotary propellers due to high thrust, but at the cost of low efficiency. Due to their inherently high speed turning motion, sharp propeller blades and generated noise, they ...

Multimodal pipe-climbing robot with origami clutches and soft modular legs

Jamie Paik, Frédéric Henri Vaskin Giraud, Hongying Zhang, Yongkang Jiang

In nature, climbing trees and pipes of varying diameters or even navigating inside of hollow pipes and tree holes is easy for some climbing animals and insects. However, today's pipe-climbing robots, which are important for automatically conducting periodi ...

Measurement Scheduling for Cooperative Localization in Resource-Constrained Conditions

Qi Yan, Li Jiang

This letter studies the measurement scheduling problem for a group of

N

mobile robots moving on a flat surface that are preforming cooperative localization (CL). We consider a scenario in which due to the limited on-board resources such as battery life a ...

A versatile robotic platform for the design of natural, three-dimensional reaching and grasping tasks in monkeys

Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth, Sara Conti

Objective. Translational studies on motor control and neurological disorders require detailed monitoring of sensorimotor components of natural limb movements in relevant animal models. However, available experimental tools do not provide a sufficiently ric ...

A computer science and robotics integration model for primary school: evaluation of a large-scale in-service K-4 teacher-training program

Francesco Mondada, Frédérique Michèle Chessel-Lazzarotto, Jean-Philippe Pellet, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy

Integrating computer science (CS) into school curricula has become a worldwide preoccupation. Therefore, we present a CS and Robotics integration model and its validation through a large-scale pilot study in the administrative region of the Canton Vaud in ...

Relax and Recover: Guaranteed Range-Only Continuous Localization

Adam James Scholefield, Frederike Dümbgen, Michalina Wanda Pacholska

Range-only localization has applications as diverse as underwater navigation, drone tracking and indoor localization. While the theoretical foundations of lateration-range-only localization for static points-are well understood, there is a lack of understa ...
