Design, Optimal Guidance and Control of a Low-cost Re-usable Electric Model Rocket

IROS 2021poster

In the last decade, autonomous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles have become increasingly important as they lower mission costs thanks to their re-usability. However, their development is complex, rendering even the basic experimental validation of the required advanced guidance and cont…

SpaceBok: A Dynamic Legged Robot for Space Exploration

ICRA 2019poster

This paper introduces SpaceBok, a quadrupedal robot created to investigate dynamic legged locomotion for the exploration of low-gravity celestial bodies. With a hip height of 500 mm and a mass of 20 kg, its dimensions are comparable to a medium-sized dog. The robot's leg configuration is based on an…

Towards Jumping Locomotion for Quadruped Robots on the Moon

IROS 2019poster

Jumping locomotion has the potential to enable legged robots to overcome obstacles and travel efficiently on low-gravity celestial bodies. We present how the 22 kg quadruped robot SpaceBok exploits lunar gravity conditions to perform energy-efficient jumps. The robot achieves repetitive, vertical ju…
