Affordances as a Framework for Robot Control
The concept of affordances, with its emphasis to the interactions between the robot and the environment, is highly relevant for epigenetic robotics. However, the use of the concept in robotics has been rather rudimentary, mostly confined to an inspiration source. In this paper, we present a new formalization of the concept, based partially on the recent formalizations proposed in Ecological Psy...
متن کاملSelf-Assembling Serpentine Robot
The Problem: The problem is to design an autonomous mobile robot that is self-assembling from independently mobile segments. We choose a design inspired by the constitution and motion of snakes or worms. In such a construction, the body of the robot is segmented and each segment can be designed as an autonomous entity, which is able to move and couple with other segments. Several of these segme...
متن کاملDistributed Central Pattern Generator Control for a Serpentine Robot
We have built a biologically and neurally inspired autonomous mobile robotic worm. The main aim of the project is to demonstrate elegant motion on a robot with a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) under the control of a simple distributed neural system as found in many animals’ spinal cord. Our robot consists of individually controlled segments that exhibit Central-Pattern-Generator (CPG...
متن کاملKaa: an autonomous serpentine robot utilizes behavior control
Many robot applications require mobility in constrained spaces and a high degree of flexibility. This paper describes the development of an autonomous serpentine robot. This robot is a 12 degree of freedom, untethered, hyper-redundant planar robot, named Kaa. Experiments were conducted in its application to mobility tasks that would be useful in locomotion among parallel pipe structures similar...
متن کاملPneumatic Actuators for Serpentine Robot
This paper presents analytical and experimental results of an investigation of joint actuators and their suitability for a particular class of complex mechanisms: serpentine robots. In practice, serpentine robots usually comprise of multiple segments connected by joints. Some serpentine robots provide legged, wheeled, or tracked propulsion, and, in addition, actuation for the joints. We compare...
