Biologically-inspired robots for stage performance
… opportunities in the field of robotics. Onstage robots not only have to function flawlessly, they must interact convincingly with their human counterparts and adhere to a rigid timeline. The scope of this work is to create set pieces that look and behave like organic entities for the production …

Large Deformable Soft Actuators Using Dielectric Elastomer and Origami Inspired Structures
… significant improvements in modern robotics, the biologically inspired robots has taken the center stage. Inspired by nature, biologically inspired robots are called ‘soft robots’. Within these robots lies a secret ingredient: the actuator. Soft robotic development has been driven by the idea of …

Optimizing the structure and movement of a robotic bat with biological kinematic synergies
… the design and flight characteristics of a biologically-inspired bat-like robot. Recent work has designed the topological structure for the wing kinematics of this robot; here we present methods to optimize the geometry of this structure, and to compute actuator trajectories that yield …

Trajectory optimization and data-driven modeling for robotic bat flapping flight
… covers the wings and tail such as is found in robots with bat morphology. In this dissertation, we build upon previous efforts to model a robotic bat and present a methodology for using a combination of first-principles and data-driven tools. We record a series of load cell tests and free …

Design and control of intelligent heterogeneous multi-configurable chained microrobotic modular systems
… That is, the development of modular microrobots composed of different types of modules able to perform different types of movements (gaits), that can have different (chained) configurations depending on the task to perform. Heterogenous is the key word in this thesis. It is possible to …
