Robotic Barrier Construction through Weaved, Inflatable Tubes

IROS 2023poster

In this article, we present a mechanism and related path planning algorithm to construct light-duty barriers out of extruded, inflated tubes weaved around existing environmental features. Our extruded tubes are based on everted vine-robots and in this context, we present a new method to steer their…

Construction and Excavation by Collaborative Double-Tailed SAW Robots

RA-L 2022

We describe a minimalistic robot mechanism that is capable of many construction behaviors in dry granular material including locomotion, climbing, leveling, subtraction, addition, transport, and burrowing. The design extends upon a single-actuator wave mechanism with the insight that the tails can b
