Extending Sensory Capabilities of a Biohybrid System: Prediction of Honeycomb Fill

Cyril Felix Monette, Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills

Interactive robotics is increasingly used to investigate animal behaviour, including communication, mating and collective dynamics. An essential component for such systems is sensing the animals and the relevant aspects of the habitat to enable coherent cl ...

Intelligent Soft Robotic System for Sensing and Recognition via Triboelectric‐Based Multi‐Sensor Fusion

Xin Chen

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) serve as a key technology in flexible electronic devices, especially tactile sensors, enabling flexible robotic manipulators to effectively interact with their external environment. Persistent challenges include inadequ ...

Zero-force rectilinear flexure-based translation stage: Experimental validations

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette

Compliant mechanisms can advantageously be preloaded by buckled beams in order to reduce their motion stiffness, and therefore also their actuation forces. However, preloading compliant mechanisms has the side-effect of modifying the deformation of their f ...

Elastic-Actuation Mechanism for Repetitive Hopping Based on Power Modulation and Cyclic Trajectory Generation

Auke Ijspeert, Dario Floreano, William John Stewart, Won Dong Shin, Matthew Alfonso Estrada

Animal locomotion results from a combination of power modulation and cyclic appendage trajectories, but combining these two properties in small-sized robots is difficult. Here, we introduce and characterize a new elastic actuation system based on an invert ...

Ultra-high voltage, low power and energy recovering electronics for dielectric elastomer actuators

Raphaël Johannes Charles Mottet

Heart failure is a cardiovascular disease affecting between 1 and 2% of the population of developed countries alone - more than 10 million people - with this number bound to increase due to the ageing of the population. This condition starts to develop its ...

Autonomous oil flow generated by self-oscillating polymer gels

Vito Cacucciolo

The previously reported gel and polymer actuators require external inputs, such as batteries, circuits, electronic circuits, etc., compared with autonomous motions produced by the living organisms. To realize the spontaneous motions, here, we propose to in ...

A Resource-Aware Approach to Self-Triggered Model Predictive Control

Colin Neil Jones

In this paper, we consider a self-triggered formulation of model predictive control. In this variant, the controller decides at the current sampling instant itself when the next sample should be taken and the optimization problem be solved anew. We incorpo ...
