  2. Overview Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Introduction • Shape Deposition Manufacturing • Robot Design • Locomotion Dynamics • Conclusions

  3. Introduction Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Motivation • Small • Fast • Robust • Integrated approach • Biomimetic structures • Biologically-inspired control De-mining in an unstructured environment

  4. Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) Piston Fitting Inlet Valve Pressure Sensor Exhaust Valve Leaf-spring Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions Manufacturing Prototype Limb with Embedded Pneumatic Actuator, Sensor, Leaf Spring and Valves

  5. Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) Multi-material part w/ embedded components Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Arbitrary geometries • Embedded components • No fasteners • Multi-materials • Tailored compliance Graded, multi-material 5-bar

  6. Biological Example Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Death-head cockroach Blaberus discoidalis • Fast • Speeds of up to 10 body/s • Rough terrain • Can easily traverse fractal terrain of obstacles 3X hip height Blaberus discoidalis running over fractal terrain

  7. Biological Inspiration Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Control heirarchy • Passive component • Active component Neural System (CPG) Feedforward Motor Pattern Sensory Feedback (Reflexes) Mechanical System (muscles, limbs) Mechanical Feedback (Preflexes) Environment Passive Dynamic Self-Stabilization Locomotion Full and Koditschek, 1999

  8. Robot Design Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions Cockroach Geometry Functional Biomimesis Robot Implementation • Passive Compliant Hip Joint • Effective Thrusting Force • Damped, Compliant Hip Flexure • Embedded Air Piston • Rotary Joint • Prismatic Joint Cham et al., 2000, Clark et al., 2001

  9. Sprawlita Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions Actuators and wiring embedded inside structure • Mass - .27 kg • Dimensions - 16x10x9 cm • Leg length - 4.5 cm • Max. Speed - 55 cm/s 3+ body/sec • Hip height obstacle traversal Legs with Compliant Flexures 2.5 cm

  10. Movie Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Superficially insect-like • Stable running • Obstacle traversal

  14. Individual leg forces Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Sprawlita drags middle and rear foot • Individual legs have functions dissimilar from cockroach legs • More questions • Relative contact time Front Leg Middle Leg Hind Leg 10 12 10 0 0 0 mN ms -6 -6 -6 0 140 0 60 140 0 140 4 4 4 0 0 0 N ms -2 -2 -2 0 20 50 0 50 0 50 filtered vertical force filtered horizontal force Dragging

  15. Summary and Conclusions Intro Design SDM Dynamics Conclusions • Sprawlita • Physically robust • Operationally robust • Open loop • Comparing locomotion dynamics suggests design improvements • Foot drag - longer stroke • If more SLIP-like... • faster? • more efficient? • more robust?
