Journal ArticleDOI
Universal robotic gripper based on the jamming of granular material
Eric Brown,Nicholas Rodenberg,John R. Amend,Annan Michael Mozeika,E. Steltz,Mitchell R. Zakin,Hod Lipson,Heinrich M. Jaeger +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that volume changes of less than 0.5% suffice to grip objects reliably and hold them with forces exceeding many times their weight, and opens up new possibilities for the design of simple, yet highly adaptive systems that excel at fast gripping of complex objects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Towards a 3g crawling robot through the integration of microrobot technologies
TL;DR: This paper discusses the biomimetic design and assembly of a 3g self-contained crawling robot fabricated through the integrated use of various microrobot technologies and presents results of both the kinematic and static analyses of the driving mechanism that essentially consists of three slider cranks in series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microrobot Design Using Fiber Reinforced Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new fabrication process called smart composite microstructures (SCM) for integrating rigid links and large angle flexure joints through a laser micromachining and lamination process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal energy density piezoelectric bending actuators
TL;DR: In this paper, a laminate plate theory model for a stacked multimorph cantilever actuator, encompassing all possible layups, layer anisotropies, internal and external excitations, and intrinsic and extrinsic geometries, is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
RoACH: An autonomous 2.4g crawling hexapod robot
TL;DR: This work presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel hexapedal walking millirobot using only two actuators, which is the smallest and lightest autonomous legged robot produced to date.
