Performance consequences of information-based centralization arising from neural and mechanical coupling in a walking robot

IROS 2025

Legged animals still outperform many terrestrial robots due to the complex interplay of various component subsystems. Centralization is a potential integrated design axis to help improve the performance of legged robots in variable terrain environments. Centralization arises from the coupling of mul

Autonomous Actuation of Flapping Wing Robots Inspired by Asynchronous Insect Muscle

ICRA 2022poster

In most instances, flapping wing robots have emulated the “synchronous” actuation of insects in which the wingbeat timing is generated from a time-dependent, rhythmic signal. The internal dynamics of asynchronous insect flight muscle enable high-frequency, adaptive wingbeats with minimal direct neur…
