Automated Calibration of a Biomimetic Space-Dependent Model for Zebrafish and Robot Collective Behaviour in a Structured Environment

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

Bio-hybrid systems made of robots and animals can be useful tools both for biology and robotics. To socially integrate robots into animal groups the robots should behave in a biomimetic manner with close loop interactions between robots and animals. Behavi ...

Tribot: A Deployable, Self-Righting and Multi-Locomotive Origami Robot

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Christoph Heinrich Belke

There are several challenges in down-sizing robots for transportation deployment, diversification of locomotion capabilities tuned for various terrains, and rapid and on-demand manufacturing. In this paper we propose an origami-inspired method of addressin ...

Rich and Robust Bio-Inspired Locomotion Control for Humanoid Robots

Nicolas Benoît Dominique Van der Noot

Bipedal locomotion is a challenging task in the sense that it requires to maintain dynamic balance while steering the gait in potentially complex environments. Yet, humans usually manage to move without any apparent difficulty, even on rough terrains. This ...

The Making of a 3D-Printed, Cable-Driven, Single-Model, Lightweight Humanoid Robotic Hand

Daniel Thalmann

Dexterity robotic hands can (Cummings, 1996) greatly enhance the functionality of humanoid robots, but the making of such hands with not only human-like appearance but also the capability of performing the natural movement of social robots is a challenging ...

Bio-inspired balance controller for a humanoid robot

Auke Ijspeert, Renaud Ronsse, Nicolas Benoît Dominique Van der Noot, François André Heremans

Humanoid robots are gaining much interest nowadays. This is partly motivated by the ability of such robots to replace humans in dangerous environments being specifically designed for humans, such as man-made or natural disaster scenarios. However, existing ...

Designing a virtual whole body tactile sensor suit for a simulated humanoid robot using inverse dynamics

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

In this paper, we propose a novel architecture to estimate external forces applied to a compliantly controlled balancing robot in simulations. We use similar dynamics equations used in the controller to find mismatches in the available sensory data and ass ...
