Robotic navigation on land, through air, and in water is well researched; numerous robots have successfully demonstrated motion these environments. However, one frontier for robotic locomotion remains largely unexplored-below ground. Subterranean simply hard to do, part because the interaction forces of underground are higher than air or by orders magnitude we lack interactions a robust fundamental physics understanding. We present test three hypotheses, derived from biological observation...
Interactions of simple robots can be mapped to a discrete algorithm that accurately predicts the ensemble’s emergent behaviors.
Multi-legged animals (myriapods) such as centipedes move effectively in diverse terrain; flexible bodies and limbs allow them to morphologically adapt the environment. To examine how variation body/limb forms of myriapods affect mechanics performance terrestrial locomotion, we built a low-cost multi-legged hybrid (containing soft hard components) robot which has 8 segments, each with two driven out phase. The back elements limb pairs are by servo motors. Building on new theoretical results...
Serially connected robots are promising candidates for performing tasks in confined spaces such as search and rescue large-scale disasters. Such typically limbless, we hypothesize that the addition of limbs could improve mobility. However, a challenge designing controlling devices lies coordination high-dimensional redundant modules way improves Here develop general framework to discover templates control serially multi-legged robots. Specifically, combine two approaches build shape scheme...
For exploration of unknown terrestrial environments, it is typically assumed that robots possess sophisticated controllers which can sense important aspects the terrain (gaps, obstacles, slippery surfaces). However, robust sensing such conditions not yet possible in harsh environmental conditions. Biological systems, including plant roots and snakes, are impressive their ability to use diverse growth movement strategies penetrate explore heterogeneous terrain. Such systems avoid becoming...
Abstract Locomotion at the microscale is remarkably sophisticated. Microorganisms have evolved diverse strategies to move within highly viscous environments, using deformable, propulsion-generating appendages such as cilia and flagella drive helical or undulatory motion. In single-celled algae, these can be arranged in different ways around an approximately 10 μ m long cell body, coordinated distinct temporal patterns. Inspired by observation that some quadriflagellates (bearing four...
Purpose Interactions of different additive types for antiwear/friction modification on surfaces can be synergistic or antagonistic in nature. This paper aims to investigate whether there are interactions between additives the adsorption process and they antagonistic. The yielded correlations will validated with tribological experiments answer question effects also lead wear reduction. Design/methodology/approach In a representative study, zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphate dithiophosphate were...
Turkey is the world?s leading producer of figs, a typical Mediterranean fruit. The fig, Ficus carica L. (Moraceae), has been widely cultivated since ancient times due to nutritional value its fruits. It was aimed investigate phytochemical characterization and biological properties F. leaf extracts in order determine their potential for use treatment various diseases. leaves were extracted 70% methanol at 40 °C under reflux. To obtain different polarities, crude extract fractionated with...
In a geometric mechanics framework, the configuration space is decomposed into shape and position space. The internal motion of system prescribed by closed loop in space, which causes net If simply connected domain an Euclidean then with optimal choice body frame, displacement reasonably approximated surface integral height function, functional relationship between variables. Our recent work has extended scope methods from limbless undulatory to those legs; interestingly, for such systems...
Black soldier fly larvae are a sustainable protein source and play vital role in the emerging food-waste recycling industry. One of challenges raising dense aggregations is their rise temperature during feeding, which, if not mitigated, can become lethal to larvae. We propose applying air-fluidization circumvent such overheating. However, behavior system involves complex air-larva interactions poorly understood. In this combined experimental numerical study, we show that larval activity...
Locomotion by shape changes or gas expulsion is assumed to require environmental interaction, due conservation of momentum. However, as first noted in [J. Wisdom, Science 299, 1865-1869 (2003)] and later [E. Guéron, Sci. Am. 301, 38-45 (2009)] Avron, O. Kenneth, New J. Phys, 8, 68 (2006)], the noncommutativity translations permits translation without momentum exchange either gravitationally curved spacetime surfaces encountered locomotors real-world environments. To realize this idea which...
