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
Effective elastic modulus of isolated gecko setal arrays
TL;DR: The hypothesis that Eeff of gecko setae falls within Dahlquist's criterion for tack is tested, the validity of a model of setae as cantilever beams is evaluated, and highly linear forces of deformation under all compression conditions support the cantilevers model.
Journal ArticleDOI
High friction from a stiff polymer using microfiber arrays.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high-friction properties similar to rubberlike materials can be obtained using microfiber arrays constructed from a stiff thermoplastic (polypropylene, 1 GPa) using polypropylene's higher interfacial shear strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an in vivo biologically inspired nanofactory
Philip R. LeDuc,Michael S. Wong,Placid M. Ferreira,Richard E. Groff,Kiryn Haslinger,Michael P. Koonce,Woo Y. Lee,J. Christopher Love,J. Andrew McCammon,Nancy A. Monteiro-Riviere,Vincent M. Rotello,Gary W. Rubloff,Robert M. Westervelt,Minami Yoda +13 more
TL;DR: It may, however, be possible to go even further and design 'pseudo-cell' nanofactories that work with molecules already in the body to fight disease.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Automated gait adaptation for legged robots
TL;DR: This paper presents a system for gait adaptation in the RHex series of hexapedal robots that renders this arduous process nearly autonomous, by recourse to a modified version of Nelder-Mead descent.
