  • Title: "Introduction to the locomotion of limbless modular robots"
  • Speaker: Juan González
  • Duration: 40 minutes
  • Place: TAMS Group. Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Science. University of Hamburg. Germany
  • Date: Jun, 19th 2009
  • Description: Seminar for the students of the "Modular robotics course"

Abstract

This talk focused on the locomotion of snake modular robots. First an introduction to the modular robots and the locomotion problem is given. Then the two generations of modules that have been developed is presented. Following, The bio-inspired locomotion controller based on sinusoidal oscillators is described. After that, the locomotion of these robots in 1D and 2D is explained and live demostration are done. Finally some simulations are shown and the conclusion and current work are given.
