In this study, we propose a reconfigurable laminate mechanism based bistable tail for Throwbot transforming into a ball type and a wheel type. Various robots such as snake robots, drones, and throwing robots for life-saving missions on behalf of humans at disaster sites have been studied. In particu
In this study, a throwing robot equipped with an shock absorbing structure, utilizing paired-Cross Flexural Hinge (p-CFH) and an airbag, was fabricated and validated to assess the effectiveness of its impact absorption mechanism. This robot was developed in anticipation of situations where direct hu…
In this paper, we have developed a protection module for Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors used in outdoor unmanned vehicles. Bio-inspired wiping motion was figured to have more efficient and excellent wiping performance than conventional cleaning methods for LiDAR sensors. An water wiping…
