Fully Soft 3D Printed Electroactive Fluidic Valve in Soft Hydraulic Robots

Creator:

Zatopa, Alexander

Abstract:

Soft robots are designed to utilize their compliance and contortionistic abilities to both interact safely with their environment and move through it in ways a rigid robot cannot. To more completely achieve this, the robot should be made of as many soft components as possible. Here we present a completely...

Masters Thesis
From running birds to walking robots : optimization as a unifying framework for dynamic bipedal locomotion

Creator:

Hubicki, Christian M.

Abstract:

Bipedal locomotion is a complex phenomenon to understand and control, making it difficult for legged robots to achieve the speed, agility, efficiency, and robustness of their animal counterparts. This thesis argues for the use of numerical optimization to investigate and implement bipedal control as it applies to biology, dynamical models,...
