We detail the development of a novel propulsion system for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV's) inspired by the punting locomotion of the ‘Little Skate’. The hybrid legged, gliding and punting gait is a potential enabling technology for UUV access to complex littoral environments. Design, development and initial trials with the prototype vehicle are presented. A combination of video motion capture...
The development of mobile robots is related to multidisciplinary areas of mechanics, electronics, computing and biology. Current research have made possible the development of robots that assist in exploration, rescue and rehabilitation, using artificial intelligence techniques, optimization and dynamic analysis of multibody systems. This work aims the synthesis of a humanoid robot and presents the...
To make stable and fast walking in humanoid robot possible, lots of works has to be done including attitude estimation, dynamic stability controls, path planning and online position tracking. These processes need an exact mechanic modelling of the robot's body structure. In this paper, an evolutionary approach is used to model the human walk for a standard humanoid robot named NAO. This method makes...
The main goal of robotic gait rehabilitation is the restoration of independent gait. To achieve this goal different and specific patterns have to be practiced intensively in order to stimulate the learning process of the central nervous system. The gait robot G-EO Systems was designed to allow the repetitive practice of floor walking, stair climbing and stair descending. A novel control strategy allows...
As cyber-physical systems become more prevalent, specifications for these systems must be formulated in a more nuanced manner. This paper presents a particular instantiation of such specification by proposing a framework that endows robotic motions with a sense of aesthetic style. Drawing inspiration from classical ballet, poses are cast as discrete states and movements as the transitions between...
