… The simplest static methods can include independently controlling stroke length of legs on
each side, as the MEDIC robot Kohut et al. 2011 [13] which employs 4 actuators. A practical …

For maximum maneuverability, terrestrial robots need to be able to turn precisely, quickly,
and with a small radius. Previous efforts at turning in legged robots primarily have used leg …

This paper presents a method for increasing fuel economy using traffic data and a model
predictive controller. Using knowledge of the traffic ahead, a vehicle can react to changes in …

This paper presents a six-legged, sprawl-tuned autonomous robot (STAR). This novel robot
has a variable leg sprawl angle in the transverse plane to adapt its stiffness, height, and leg-…

This work presents the design, fabrication, capabilities, and obstacle traversal mechanics of
MEDIC (Millirobot Enabled Diagnostic of Integrated Circuits), a small legged robot able to …

Turning while running at high speeds remains a difficult task for legged robots, but this capability
is crucial for maneuvering quickly in a real-world environment. In this work we present a …

Small legged robots have unique potential for widespread application in search and rescue,
hazardous exploration, battlefield reconnaissance, and almost any remote, inaccessible or …

The assessment of risk and benefit calls for a most careful study of the relevant data. Both
the investigator and the institu-tional REB [research ethics board] must assess the risk to …

… were employed without purging the reactor with N 2 . First, a … No polymerization occurred
at 40 C for 2 h in absence of N 2 … N 2 purging), the polymerization only took place when N,N,N…

… It was shown that the N + /N atom ratio was the more accurate to evaluate the doping level.
The PANI prepared in the presence of nonionic surfactant exhibits the same doping level as a …
