Modeling and Control of Brachiating Robots Traversing Flexible Cables

Siavash Farzan, Ai-Ping Hu, Evan Davies, Jonathan Rogers

ICRA 2018poster

This paper describes the dynamic modeling and locomotion control of a two-link underactuated brachiating robot traversing a flexible cable. A multi-body system comprised of a two-link robot, a flexible cable, and coupling soft junctions is modeled dynamically. This model is used to formulate an ener…

Tarzan: Design, Prototyping, and Testing of a Wire-Borne Brachiating Robot

Evan Davies, Adam Garlow, Siavash Farzan, Jonathan Rogers, Ai-Ping Hu

IROS 2018poster

A novel brachiating robot design is presented for the purpose of traversing elevated wire networks. The robot is capable of moving along a single wire and between parallel wires, thereby enabling traversal of a two-dimensional space. Several novel features distinguish this design compared to previou…
