Design and Performance Evaluation of an Infotaxis-Based Three-Dimensional Algorithm for Odor Source Localization

Alcherio Martinoli, Ali Marjovi, Faezeh Rahbar

In this paper we tackle the problem of finding the source of a gaseous leak with a robot in a three-dimensional (3-D) physical space. The proposed method extends the operational range of the probabilistic Infotaxis algorithm [1] into 3-D and makes multiple ...

Stiffness Control With Shape Memory Polymer in Underactuated Robotic Origamis

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh, Marco Salerno

Underactuated systems offer compact design with easy actuation and control but at the cost of limited stable con- figurations and reduced dexterity compared to the directly driven and fully actuated systems. Here, we propose a compact origamibased design i ...

Biomimetic Underwater Robots Based on Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Dario Floreano, Herbert Shea, Jun Shintake

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), a soft actuator technology, hold great promise for biomimetic underwater robots. The high-voltages required to drive DEAs can however make them challenging to use in water. This paper demonstrates a method to create D ...
