Bat membranous wings possess unique functions that make them a good example to take inspiration from and transform current aerial drones. In contrast with other flying vertebrates, bats have an extremely articulated musculoskeletal system which is key their energetic efficiency impressively adaptive multimodal locomotion. Biomimicry of this flight apparatus significant engineering ordeal we seek achieve mechanical intelligence through sophisticated interactions morphology. Such morphological...
Environmental effects-temperature and moisture-on 3D printed part dimensional accuracy are explored. The coefficient of thermal expansion four different nylon materials was determined for XY ZX print orientations, with 0°, 45°/-45°, 90° infill patterns. Unreinforced exhibited a the same order regardless condition (from 11.4 to 17.5 × 10-5 1/°C), while nylons reinforced discontinuous carbon fiber were highly anisotropic, instance exhibiting 2.2 1/°C in flow direction (0° angle) 24.8...
We report the design of a morpho-functional robot called Husky Carbon. Our goal is to integrate two forms mobility, aerial and quadrupedal legged locomotion, within single platform. There are prohibitive restrictions such as tight power budget payload, which can particularly become important in flights. To address these challenges, we pose problem Mobility Value Added Mass (MVAM) problem. In MVAM problem, attempt allocate mass our designs that energetic performance affected least. solve...
The objective of this work is to design and develop a bio-inspired soft articulated armwing structure which will be an integral component morphing aerial co-bot, Aerobat. In our design, we draw inspiration from bats. Bat membranous wings possess unique functions that make them good example take transform current drones. contrast with other flying vertebrates, bats have extremely musculoskeletal system, key their body impact-survivability deliver impressively adaptive multimodal locomotion...
Purpose Many additively manufactured parts suffer from reduced interlayer strength. This anisotropy is necessarily tied to the orientation during manufacture. When individual features on a part have conflicting optimal orientations, unavoidably compromised. paper aims demonstrate strategy in which can be functionally separated into “co-parts” are individually aligned an orientation, selectively reinforced with continuous fiber, printed simultaneously and, finally, assembled composite...
