Steerable miniature jumping robot
Jumping is used in nature by many small animals to locomote in cluttered environments or in rough terrain. It offers small systems the benefit of overcoming relatively large obstacles at a low energetic cost. In order to be able to perform repetitive jumps in a given direction, it is important to be able to upright after landing, steer and jump again. In this article, we review and evaluate the...
متن کاملDesigning a Miniature Wearable Visual Robot
In this paper we report on two methods we have developed to aid in the design of a Wearable Visual Robot — a body mounted robot for which the main sensor is a camera. Specifically, we have first refined the analysis of sensor placement through the computation of the field of view and body motion using a 3D model of the human form. Second we have improved the design of the robot’s morphology wit...
متن کاملDevice Server for a Miniature Mobile Robot
This paper describes a device server for a miniature mobile robot. Generally, miniature robots have low-size memory and relatively slow microcontroller to realize complicated tasks. Therefore, a device server for small sized mobile robots is proposed with the intention of increasing their capabilities. The proposed software system runs on the microcontroller of the robot, and serves a collectio...
متن کاملA miniature hybrid robot propelled by legs
This paper describes the development of an autonomous hybrid micro-robot that uses legs for propulsion and support of the rear half of the body and uses a pair of wheels for support of the front half. McKibben artificial muscles actuate the legs and the compressed air that activates the actuators is generated by an on-board power plant comprising a pair of lithium batteries powering a gear moto...
متن کاملTalkBack: Feedback from a Miniature Robot
A prerequisite of any successful social robot is the ability to express its internal state and intention to humans in a natural way. Many researchers studied verbal and nonverbal feedback from humanoid robots or humanoid robotic heads but there is little research about the possible feedback mechanisms of non-humanoid and especially miniature robots. The TalkBack experiment is a trial to fill th...
