Bang-bang Control with Constant Thrust of a Spherical Blimp Propelled by Ultrasound Beam

Takuro Furumoto, Masahiro Fujiwara, Yasutoshi Makino, Hiroyuki Shinoda

ICRA 2022poster

Ultrasound beam propulsion, a propulsion system that uses airborne ultrasound phased arrays (AUPAs) to propel a blimp in an indoor environment to propel a blimp, has advantages for operations near humans such as no audible noises and no risk of propeller strike. To achieve the high mobility with lim…

Three-Dimensional Manipulation of a Spherical Object Using Ultrasound Plane Waves

Takuro Furumoto, Keisuke Hasegawa, Yasutoshi Makino, Hiroyuki Shinoda

RA-L 2019

In this letter, we demonstrate a new robotic framework where a lightweight balloon with no onboard actuators or batteries acts as a mid-air robot that travels three-dimensionally within a workspace. The workspace contains five sparsely arranged ultrasound transducer arrays emitting steerable plane w
