Legged Robots
ATRIAS 2.1 Biped
|
Description: ATRIAS 2.1 is the third physical realization of the ATRIAS concept of an actuated spring mass walking, running and jumping bipedal robot. Funded by: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Year: 2012 |
ATRIAS 2.0 Monopod
|
Description: ATRIAS 2.0 is the second physical realization of the ATRIAS concept of an actuated spring mass walking, running and jumping bipedal robot. Funded by: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Year: 2012 |
ATRIAS 1.0 Monopod
|
Description: ATRIAS 1.0 is designed for agile, robust, and energetically economic walking and running over uneven terrain, in addition to other highly dynamic maneuvers such as hopping, jumping, and skipping. Funded by: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Year: 2011 |
MABEL
|
Description: MABEL is a bipedal robot based on the Electric Cable Differential (ECD) leg designed to be both a robust walker and a fast runner. It pushes the state of the art in bipedal mechanism design and provides an opportunity for effective control design methodology to maximize the robot's energy efficiency, speed, and stability. Funded by: National Science Foundation (NSF) Year: 2009 |
Thumper
|
Description: Thumper is a monopod robot based on the Electric Cable Differential (ECD) leg. The Electric Cable Differential (ECD) leg was designed for running, walking, jumping, hopping, and generally behaving in a highly dynamic manner. Large fiberglass springs are used for storing the energy of a running gait, much like the springs in a pogo stick or the tendons in a kangaroo. Funded by: National Science Foundation (NSF) Year: 2008 |
BiMASC
|
Description: The Biped with Mechanically Adjustable Series Compliance, or BiMASC, was designed to be capable of running, walking, jumping, hopping, and generally behaving in a highly dynamic manner. The actuation is based on the AMASC, which provides tunable passive dynamics for efficient and stable locomotion. Funded by: National Science Foundation (NSF) Year: 2007 |
AMASC
|
Description: The actuator with mechanically adjustable series compliance (AMASC) is designed for use in the BiMASC, a highly dynamic legged robot that uses fiberglass springs for a large energy storage capacity. Funded by: National Science Foundation (NSF) Year: 2004 |
Other Projects
Mars Rover Robotic Arm 2011
|
Description: This project is an extension of the Oregon State University Rover Club for use in the University Rover Challenge (URC). For the past four years, the Mars Society has hosted the URC at its Mars Desert Research Station in southern Utah. The premise of this competition is to challenge teams of university students to design and build the next generation Mars rover. Year: 2011 |
SWAT Vehicle Robotic Arm
|
Description: The purpose of the arm is to increase the operating area of the SWAT Reconnaissance Vehicle by enabling it to open household doors and closets. The arm was designed to be able to open typical household doors with L-shaped handles or knobs. Funded by: Salem Police Department Year: 2010 |
