Model-free control framework for multi-limb soft robots

Vishesh Vikas, Piyush Grover, Barry Trimmer

IROS 2015poster

The deformable and continuum nature of soft robots promises versatility and adaptability. However, control of modular, multi-limbed soft robots for terrestrial locomotion is challenging due to the complex robot structure, actuator mechanics and robot-environment interaction. Traditionally, soft robo…

Structural vibration for robotic communication and sensing on one-dimensional structures

Maxwell Hill, Jerry Mekdara, Barry Trimmer, Robert White

IROS 2015poster

In this paper, structure-borne vibrations in a one-dimensional structure are examined as a means of communication and sensing for networks of robots. The concept is inspired by the observation that insects may use structural vibrations to communicate and to detect features of their environment. A 12…
