EEWOC Climbing Robot with Extendable Tape Spring Limb

0

Here is a climbing robot with a long extending and bending tape measure limb. EEWOC can climb complex steel structures with its magnetic grippers. Its extendable limb can reach over 12.m, allowing it to traverse gaps and obstacles. This robot can reach around corners and transition between surfaces using its wheels.

Quadruped-Frog: Continuous Quadruped Jumping with Online Optimization

0

Quadruped robots are getting faster and more agile all the time. They can already run pretty fast. Quadruped Frog is about optimizing continuous quadruped jumping online. In the past, these behaviors were optimized offline.

Quadruped-Frog: Rapid Online Optimization of Continuous Quadruped Jumping

As the researchers explain, they designed:

foot force profiles parameterized by only a few parameters which we optimize for directly on hardware with Bayesian Optimization. The force profiles are tracked at the joint level, and added to Cartesian PD impedance control and Virtual Model Control to stabilize the jumping motions. 

This approach allows for forward, lateral, and twist jumps. A Go1 robot was used for this. It can jump 0.5m high and 0.5m forward.

LASSIE Project: Teaching Robot Dogs to Navigate Moon Craters

0

Robots are going to do most of our space exploration in the future. The LASSIE project involving USC, UPenn, Texas A&M, Oregon State, Georgia Tech, Temple University, and NASA Johnson Space Center is all about teaching robot dogs how to navigate craters on the moon. These robots can feel the terrain with their leg and adjust their movement as needed.
