Optimization design of a linear actuator using a genetic algorithm

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Joël Maridor

This paper presents a method to optimize two linear actuator configurations. The method is stochastic and combines a genetic algorithm (GA) and FEM (finite element method) model generated with the commercial software FEMM. The optimization is performed in ...

A mobile microrobot is defined as a robot with a size ranging from 1 in3 down to 100 µm3 and a motion range of at least several times the robot's length. Mobile microrobots have a great potential for a wide range of mid-term and long-term applications such ...

Energy Management for Indoor Hovering Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, James Roberts

Flying has an advantage when compared to ground based locomotion, as it simplifies the task of overcoming obstacles and allows for rapid coverage of an area while also providing a birds-eye-view of the environment. One of the key challenges that has preven ...

In this thesis, we present a dynamical systems approach to adaptive controllers for locomotion control. The approach is based on a rigorous mathematical framework using nonlinear dynamical systems and is inspired by theories of self-organization. Nonlinear ...

From swimming to walking with a salamander robot driven by a spinal cord model

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi

The transition from aquatic to terrestrial locomotion was a key development in vertebrate evolution. We present a spinal cord model and its implementation in an amphibious salamander robot that demonstrates how a primitive neural circuit for swimming can b ...

Task‐related characteristics of gait and segment orientation during natural locomotion along a curved path have been described in order to gain insight into the neural organization of walking. The locomotor task implied continuous deviation from straight‐a ...

Sensory feedback from the moving limbs contributes to the regulation of animal and human locomotion. However, the question of the specific role of the various modalities is still open. Further, functional loss of leg afferent fibres due to peripheral neuro ...

Can accelerometry accurately predict the energy cost of uphill/downhill walking?

Kamiar Aminian, Yves Schutz

To evaluate whether an activity monitor based on body acceleration measurement can accurately assess the energy cost of the human locomotion, 12 subjects walked a combination of three different speeds (preferred speed+/-1 km/h) and seven slopes (-15 to + 1 ...
