3d-Printed Leg Design And Modification For Improved Support On A Quadruped Robot, Jasmin S. Collins
3d-Printed Leg Design And Modification For Improved Support On A Quadruped Robot, Jasmin S. Collins
Undergraduate Research & Mentoring Program
The Agile and Adaptive Robotics Lab aims to uncover the biological and physiological complexities in animal agility and adaptive control, which can be replicated through robotics and provide further applications in biology and medicine. One project within the lab focuses on understanding structure, actuation, and control through the modeling of a canine quadruped robot.
The AARL has developed a full-body quadruped robot with artificial muscles that control limb movement and a body that is built from 3D-printed parts. This specific project involved modification of these existing parts to (a) minimize deflections in the front legs, causing unwanted lateral and abduction/adduction …
Synthesizing Expressive Behaviors For Humanoid Robots, Mathias Irwan Sunardi
Synthesizing Expressive Behaviors For Humanoid Robots, Mathias Irwan Sunardi
Dissertations and Theses
Humanoid robots are expected to be able to communicate with expressive gestures at the same level of proficiency as humans. However, creating expressive gestures for humanoid robots is difficult and time consuming due to the high number of degrees of freedom (DOF) and the iterations needed to get the desired expressiveness.
Current robot motion editing software has varying levels of sophistication of motion editing tools ranging from basic ones that are text-only, to ones that provide graphical user interfaces (GUIs) which incorporate advanced features, such as curve editors and inverse kinematics. These tools enable users to create simple motions; but …
