025.R12. S7 Snake Robot Prototype
S7 Snake Robot Prototype (2001-2005) Materials: Expanded PVC plastic, steel rod, and plastic gears S7 is an experimental prototype that is still under development. It was inspired by a Dr. Miller’s encounter with a python. In particular it avoids using wheels to achieve locomotion by implementing a more advanced segment design. This allows for rectilinear […]
024.R11. Edubot
Edubot is a bio-inspired six legged robot that rotates compliant C-legs in a tripod fashion to produce energetic running gaits. A PD controller at each hip controls the leg’s angular position and speed which are governed by a periodic function known as the Buehler Clock. Careful gait tuning can lead to very fast and efficient […]
023.R10 HyDRAS
HyDRAS: Hyper-redundant Discrete Robotic Articulated Serpentine. Unique snake-like robot that utilizes a new way of locomotion to climb pole or scaffolding structures. Rolls up pole structures while maintaining a helical shape. Dynamically adapts to its surroundings. Utilizes universal joints to actuate multiple link segments. Goals & Objectives: Develop a helical backbone curve that can describe […]

021.R08. ChIMERA
ChIMERA, el robot que se mueve como una amebaCategorÃa: Noticias | 15 de Febrero del 2010 El Profesor Dennis Hong y su equipo del Laboratorio de Robotica y Mecanica del Virginia TechSi a presentado un nuevo modelo de locomoción para robots sin utilizar motores, patas o ruedas.Han desarrollado lo que ellos llama “whole-skin locomotion (WSL) […]
020.R07. STriDER
STriDER, a three-legged walking robot. In a short article, New Scientist reports that researchers at Virginia Tech University have developed a tripedal experimental robot. With its three legs, this robot, named STriDER — short for ‘Self-excited Tripedal Dynamic Experimental Robot’ — is actually more stable than 2- or 4-legged robots. As said another researcher, ‘It’s […]
