Walking with Salamanders: From Molecules to Biorobotics

How do four-legged animals adapt their locomotion to the environment? How do central and peripheral mechanisms interact within the spinal cord to produce adaptive locomotion and how is locomotion recovered when spinal circuits are perturbed? Salamanders ar ...

Where to place cameras on a snake robot: Focus on camera trajectory and motion blur

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Massimo Vespignani, Alexandre Bernardino

Visual information is heavily used in robotics, in particular for SLAM applications. Visual SLAM algorithms depend on robust feature extraction and reliable state estimation. Quality of the visual information highly depends on how that information is captu ...

Challenges in the Locomotion of Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robots

Massimo Vespignani

Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robots (SRMRs) are assemblies of autonomous robotic units, referred to as modules, joined together using active connection mechanisms. By changing the connectivity of these modules, SRMRs are able to deliberately change their ow ...

A Flying Robot with Adaptive Morphology for Multi-Modal Locomotion

Dario Floreano, Ludovic Daler, Julien Jean Denis Nicolas Lecoeur

Most existing robots are designed to exploit only one single locomotion mode, such as rolling, walking, flying, swimming, or jumping, which limits their flexibility and adaptability to different environments where specific and different locomotion capabili ...

Salamandra Robotica II: An Amphibious Robot to Study Salamander-Like Swimming and Walking Gaits

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi, André Guignard, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

In this paper, we present Salamandra robotica II: an amphibious salamander robot that is able to walk and swim. The robot has four legs and an actuated spine that allow it to perform anguilliform swimming in water and walking on the ground. The paper first ...

Miniature Magnetic Climbing Inspection Robots

Frédéric Rochat

Industrial plants have an abundance of complex and confined areas that require systematic inspection. Maintenance work is necessary to ensure reliability and safety. In many cases, due to either size limitations or high danger, access is impossible to huma ...
