In this paper, we present an algorithm for a shape-shifting robot climbing stairs autonomously. The robot has been used several times for search and rescue missions. Because of the special environment of tasks, the robot must have the ability to climb stairs autonomously to help the operators. Due to the characters of robot in "T" configuration, the mathematical model of force is established...
The shape-shifting robot AMOEBA-I is the rescue-researching robot that can adapt complex environment with different configurations. The robot with line configuration can pass through the narrow space and has the better ability of obstacles. In order to improve the environment adaptability of the robot in line configuration, the turning algorithm is proposed based on the turning-shape algorithm. The...
This paper reports the development of digital relief generation over recent years. Relief generation techniques are classified into three types, image-based techniques, direct modeling techniques, and those by transforming 3D shapes into reliefs. This work aims to assist artists and designers to develop an in-depth understanding of current state of the art in relief generation.
