Pattern generators with sensory feedback for the control of quadruped locomotion

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are becoming a popular model for the control of locomotion of legged robots. Biological CPGs are neural networks responsible for the generation of rhythmic movements, especially locomotion. In robotics, a systematic way of ...

Brain-Controlled Robots

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

The idea of moving robots or prosthetic devices not by manual control, but by mere thinking (i.e., the brain activity of human subjects) has fascinated researchers for the last 30 years, but it is only now that first experiments have shown the possibility ...

Climbing robot with magnetic caterpillar

Olivier Truong-Dat Nguyen

A climbing robot using magnetic caterpillars is developed and constructed. It allows to move on ferromagnetic materials in any orientation, and to make inner plan transition. The achieved friction force is very high. ...

A miniature 7g jumping robot

Dario Floreano, André Guignard, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Martin Fuchs

Jumping can be a very efficient mode of locomotion for small robots to overcome large obstacles and travel in natural, rough terrain. In this paper we present the development and characterization of a novel 5cm, 7g jumping robot. It can jump obstacles as h ...

Climbing robot with glue feet

Thierry Barras

Le but de ce projet est de réaliser un prototype de robot se déplacant sur la base de pied à colle développés lors d’un projet de semestre précédent. Ces pieds à colle sont en réalité de simples résistances que l’on va chauffer en faisant passer du courant ...

A climbing robot for inspection of 3D human made structures

Ali Marjovi

3DCLIMBER is a running project in the University of Coimbra for developing a climbing robot with the capability of manipulating over 3D human-made structures. This paper mainly discuss the conceptual and detailed design and development of a Pole Climbing r ...

A point-wise model of adhesion suitable for real-time applications of bio-inspired climbing robot

Auke Ijspeert

Bio-inspired climbing robots relying on adhesion systems are believed to become essential tools for several industrial applications in the near future. In recent years, research has mainly focused on modeling micro-scale adhesion phenomena; a macro-scale a ...

Two-arm haptic force-feedbacked aid for the shoulder and elbow telerehabilitation

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

In this paper, we present a telerehabilitation system aiming to help the physiotherapists for the shoulder and elbow treatment. It is based on a two-arm haptic force feedback to avoid excessive efforts and discomfort with the spinal column. This system, re ...

Miniaturized mobile robot for inspection of ferromagnetic structures

Pascal Gilbert

This project aims to develop a miniaturized mobile robot for inspection of ferromagnetic structures. The robot should be small enough to fit inside water pipes with a diameter of typically 1 inch (2.5 cm), for inspection purposes. However, if a mechanism i ...

The Cost of Reality: Effects of Real-World Factors on Multi-Robot Search

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

Designing algorithms for multi-robot systems can be a complex and difficult process: the cost of such systems can be very high, collecting experimental data can be time consuming, and individual robots may malfunction, invalidating experiments. These const ...
