Design Methodology for Constructing Multimaterial Origami Robots and Machines

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov

Robotic origami allows rapid prototyping of intelligent robots and machines constructed from thin sheets of functional materials. Multimaterial-based design freedom of origami robots creates functional versatility; however, the design parameters pose chall ...

Challenges in visual and inertial information gathering for a sprawling posture robot

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat, Mahsa Parsapour

We discuss challenges a sprawling posture legged robot faces when moving in a complex environment. These kind of robots can be used for search and rescue applications when proper sensors are used and placed correctly. Finding an adequate position for placi ...

Design and control of a low profile electromagnetic actuator for foldable pop-up mechanisms

Jamie Paik, Fabio Zuliani, Amir Firouzeh, Marco Salerno

Thin foldable origami mechanisms bring miniaturization and reconfiguration of complex structures allowing large volumetric change, low cost and versatility. Many applications require small robots with multiple capabilities including movement, sensing and c ...

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 ...

Compliant snake robot locomotion on horizontal pipes

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

In this paper we introduce a body-compliant Modular Snake Robot executing rolling gaits on different cylindrical geometries. In the state of the art it is considered that an active shape adaptation to the terrain while a gait is executed produces better pe ...

Lidar-Based Relative Position Estimation and Tracking for Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira, Alicja Barbara Roelofsen, Rodrigo Martins de Matos Ventura

Relative positioning systems play a vital role in current multi-robot systems. We present a self-contained detection and tracking approach, where a robot estimates a distance (range) and an angle (bearing) to another robot using measurements extracted from ...

A Collision Resilient Flying Robot

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski

Flying robots that can locomote efficiently in GPS-denied cluttered environments have many applications, such as in search and rescue scenarios. However, dealing with the high amount of obstacles inherent to such environments is a major challenge for flyin ...

Roombots: A Hardware Perspective on 3D Self-Reconfiguration and Locomotion with a Homogeneous Modular Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Alexander Spröwitz, Rico Möckel, Stéphane Bonardi

In this work we provide hands-on experience on designing and testing a self-reconfiguring modular robotic system, Roombots (RB), to be used among others for adaptive furniture. In the long term, we envision that RB can be used to create sets of furniture, ...

Collaborative Manipulation and Transport of Passive Pieces Using the Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robots Roombots

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Rico Möckel, Stéphane Bonardi

Manipulation and transport of objects using mobile robotic platforms is a well studied field with several successful approaches. The main difficulty while using such platforms is the lack of adaptation capabilities to changes in the environment and the res ...

Energy-Time Efficiency in Aerial Swarm Deployment

Dario Floreano, Timothy Stirling

A major challenge in swarm robotics is efficiently deploying robots into unknown environments, minimising energy and time costs. This is especially important with small aerial robots which have extremely limited flight autonomy. This paper compares three d ...
