Desktop Robotics Is it possible to build robots which take the desktop as their task domain? |
|
 |
Dynamic Climbing The goal of this project is to show how robots can gain access to difficult-to-reach places by taking full advantage of their dynamics and the potential reaction forces afforded by the environment. We build robots that use dynamic motions to climb vertically using frictional contact forces. |

 |
Dynamic Manipulation By not grasping, a simple robot with few degrees-of-freedom can control an object with more degrees-of-freedom by exploiting dynamic effects, such as centrifugal and Coriolis forces. |

Legless Locomotion A novel locomotion technique for legged robots when their legs don't touch the ground! |
|
 |
Robotic Origami Folding Origami, the human art of paper sculpture, is a fresh challenge for the field of robotic manipulation, and provides a concrete example for many difficult and general manipulation problems. |
