Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

A Low‐Cost Curvature Detection Method for an Untethered Biped Pipeline Climbing Robot with Energy‐Efficient Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A low‐cost pipeline curvature detection method has been proposed for an untethered biped pipeline surface climbing robot (BPCR) system with a five‐degree‐of freedom structure. The BPCR features adaptive vacuum suction cups equipped with multiple laser sensors on the suction modules to detect the curvature of various surfaces.

Snap and Jump: How Elastic Shells Pop Out

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Indent an elastomeric shell and let it go. The spherical shells can store and release the elastic energy. Desktop‐scale experiments, material point method simulation, and analytical theory uncover the fundamental mechanism of soft jumping robots.
