The Berkeley Blob
A shapeshifting robot that rolls by changing its shape thanks to cylindrical, motor-controlled, external plate pairs surrounding an inner core. The plates both push off the ground and change the location of the center of gravity, resulting in movement!…
PolyPEDAL Lab
The goal of this project is to create micro-robots that can simulate standard insect/animal motions such as walking and running while being able to jump over encountered obstacles. The simulation of jumping mechanisms found in nature on fully mechanical robots can be used to better understand how and why they are used.…
