Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

A Body Modification to Reduce Drag Due to Wedge Angle of Wing with Unswept Trailing Edge [PDF]

open access: yes
Ward's slender-body-theory formula for zero-lift drag contains three integrals plus a base-drag term. Two of these integral terms depend only upon the cross-sectional area distribution of the body. The third integral term depends only upon the body shape

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Reduction of trimmed drag [PDF]

open access: yes
Methods are reported for reducing the aircraft drag coefficient for a given aircraft lift coefficient, or speed. The emphasis is placed in determining the load distribution between the wing-body combination and the tail which reduces overall drag ...

Fold Walker: An Origami‐Inspired Quadruped Robot for Multipattern Locomotion and Object Grasping

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents Fold Walker, an origami‐inspired quadruped robot capable of multipattern locomotion and object grasping. With each leg featuring two rotational folds, the robot can transform from a flat 2D configuration into complex 3D poses. Furthermore, its trunk and legs can be one‐shot 3D printed as a unified structure, greatly simplifying ...
