Turtle mimetic soft robot with two swimming gaits

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2016
This paper presents a biomimetic turtle flipper actuator consisting of a shape memory alloy composite structure for implementation in a turtle-inspired autonomous underwater vehicle. Based on the analysis of the Chelonia mydas, the flipper actuator was divided into three segments containing a scaffold structure fabricated using a 3D printer.

Parasitic robot system for waypoint navigation of turtle

Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2017
In research on small mobile robots and biomimetic robots, locomotion ability remains a major issue despite many advances in technology. However, evolution has led to there being many real animals capable of excellent locomotion. This paper presents a “parasitic robot system” whereby locomotion abilities of an animal are applied to a robot task.

Design and simulation of a turtle performing robot for robotic theater

2015 34th Chinese Control Conference (CCC), 2015
According to the created robot theatre script, a turtle robotic system was developed for performance at digital stage. In this paper, we designed a turtle robot to play a key role of the theater. This robot is composed of four 3-DOF modularized lightweight legs, a flexible neck with continuous curvature, three telescopic spring brackets, an aluminum ...

Mechanism Design and Gait Experiment of an Amphibian Robotic Turtle

Advanced Robotics, 2011
In this paper we describe the design of a new bio-inspired amphibian robot with high environmental adaptability. The robot, called MiniTurtle-I, can transform terrestrial and aquatic locomotion configurations through a new variable topology mechanism (Leg-Flipper).

Magnetic Turtle‐Like Robot with Biomimetic Movements Through Programmable Magnetic‐Assisted 3D Printing

Small
AbstractAnimals can respond quickly to environmental stimuli and generate complex deformations. The locomotion modes of turtles vary with changing environments, which inspires the design of bionic robots. Existing turtle‐like robots exhibit high movement efficiency and multi‐terrain adaptability.

Development of Weeding Turtle Robot for Paddy Fields

2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA), 2021
With the growing demand for organic food, weeding robots are being developed as a new method of agriculture that does not rely on scientific pesticides. Currently, “crawler-type” and “sphere-type” robots are being developed, but issues remain regarding their mobility in paddy fields and damage to rice plants.

Turtle-inspired localization on robot

2013 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2013
In nature, some animals exhibit impressive navigation capability using ambient magnetic field. Particularly, certain kinds of sea turtles can associate geomagnetism to spatial representation for positioning in transoceanic migration across the seemingly clueless sea.

When the Robot Meets the Turtle

Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education, 2017
Educators have long been trying to motivate students in their introductory programming courses. Games help students to practice formulas, facts and processes, motivating learning by adding fun. This work describes our experience in the use of Lightbot and the graphic library Turtle to introduce students to the concepts of algorithm and function.

Save our turtle robots?

Proceedings of the 7th Workshop in Primary and Secondary Computing Education, 2012
This study examines the potential for rethinking dated educational technologies. The mechanised Turtle Robot is taken as a test case to examine whether dated educational technologies can be renewed as a means of maximizing the tools and research of the past towards the new wave of interest in computing education.This paper will present research in ...
