Eugene Park, JangHo Bae, Sumin Park, JongWon Kim, Mark Yim, TaeWon Seo

RA-L 2020

In this letter, an active ball joint actuator, called the master node, is developed for the purpose of reconfiguring truss structures. We propose a variable topology truss system, which is an advanced variable geometry truss system that can reconfigure its own topology to expand its functions. Howev

Optimization-Based Nonimpact Rolling Locomotion of a Variable Geometry Truss

Sumin Park, Eugene Park, Mark Yim, JongWon Kim, TaeWon Seo

RA-L 2019

A variable geometry truss (VGT) is a modular truss-structured robot consisting of linear actuators and three-degree-of-freedom joints. Having a sophisticated structure, the VGT can easily be damaged when it rolls and impacts the ground. This letter proposes a nonimpact rolling locomotion scheme to a
