Robots with Tails

چکیده

Abstract Until recently, most four-legged robots have lacked a feature that is found again and in nature—a tail. Studies of animal locomotion the laboratory indicate leaving out tails has been design drawback. In fact, research conducted by our lab at Virginia Tech shown an articulated robotic tail can effectively maneuver stabilize quadruped both for static dynamic locomotion.

Dinosaurs, Robots and Tails

Modern birds are derived from a group of carnivorous bipedal dinosaurs known as theropods, with which they share many morphological characteristics [1-7]. For this reason cursorial birds have been widely used as models for understanding the locomotion of their non-avian ancestors (non avian theropods) [8-11]. In our research we have demonstrated that chickens grown with artificial tails exhibit...

Hazard Estimation with Flexible Tails

Polynomial splines are used to estimate the log-hazard function based on possibly censored, positive data. Two additional log terms are incorporated into the fitted model for the log-hazard function to allow for greater flexibility in the extreme tails. A fully automatic procedure involving the maximum likelihood method, stepwise knot addition, stepwise knot deletion and BIC is used to select t...

Momentum control using limbs, tails in mobile robots: Challenges and tradeoffs

Cheetahs exhibit extreme mobility not only in running speed, but also in agility. In particularly, tail-assistive maneuver in chase of a gazelle shows the potential usage of tail in robotic quadruped as well. This talk presents several examples of appendage-assisted dynamic balance in nature along with hypothesized principles. Although the benefits of using additional limbs to augment the agili...

Dynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages

A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
