Embodied Evolution: Distributing an evolutionary algorithm in a population of robots

, 2002
We introduce Embodied Evolution (EE) as a new methodology for evolutionary robotics (ER). EE uses a population of physical robots that autonomously reproduce with one another while situated in their task environment.

On the Passivity Based Impedance Control of Flexible Joint Robots [PDF]

, 2007
In this work a novel type of impedance controllers for flexible joint robots is proposed. As a target impedance a desired stiffness and damping are considered without inertia shaping.

Zoborg: On‐Demand Climbing Control for Cyborg Beetles

Advanced Science
Transitioning from horizontal surfaces to vertical walls is crucial for terrestrial robots to navigate complex environments. Replicating such impressive surface transitions in artificial insect‐scale robots has been particularly challenging.

Chlamylipo, a Chlamydomonas-in-liposome microswimmer: Self-propelled swimming and associated lipid membrane flow

Biophysics and Physicobiology
Developing active transport systems for micro cargo delivery is challenging because it requires overcoming the constraints imposed by low Reynolds numbers.

Simulation of hardware variations in swarm robots

, 2013
Swarm robotic systems can offer advantages of robustness, flexibility and scalability, just like social insects. One assumption that is made by the majority of swarm robotic researchers, particularly in software simulation, is that a robotic swarm is a ...
