    Miscellaneous



    Published on Dec 10, 2014

    David Peeters asked "Hey Grandad could you make a one wheeled rubberband powered vehicule ?
    Using a ductape rol or anything cylindrical as body/wheel ?".
    This is not the vehicle I will make, but it caught my eye as it is a single wheel driven by something inside.
    Hamster wheel on Wikipedia

    PACBot with an inching gait
    April 28, 2016

    Passively Actuated Caterpillar robot (PACBot), built by a team of Tufts University students, demonstrates a small inching gait. This robot uses Kevlar tendons, actuated by motors placed at various points within the foam body. PACBot moves by means of directional friction when the soft body is deformed by the action of the motor-driven tendons. Tendon contractions are controlled by a student wielding an X-Box controller. This video shows the device running in tethered mode, but it can also run untethered. PACBot is one of 3 Tufts entries in the 2016 RoboSoft Challenge in Livorno, Italy. Development of PACBot was supported by a National Science Foundation IGERT grant.

    StriderBot robot moves

    Published on Oct 8, 2016

    Seven servo robot using shifting counterweight. Background music by Heftone Banjo Orchestra - Semper Fidelis. Robot is scratchbuilt and cost about $120 in parts and a 100 programming hours (too many for my tastes). It uses a simple interpolation routine to make all the servos appear to be moving at the same time.

    HexaMorph: A reconfigurable and foldable hexapod robot inspired by origami

    Published on Jun 6, 2017

    We present a novel starfish-like hexapod robot design with modularity, foldability and reconfigurability. Our folding scheme encompasses the periodic foldable tetrahedral units, called "Basic Structural Units" (BSU), for constructing a family of closed-loop spatial mechanisms and robotic forms. The proposed reconfigurable hexapod robot, "HexaMorph", is fabricated using single sheets of cardboard. The electronic and
    battery components for actuation are allowed to be preassembled on the flattened crease-cut pattern and enclosed inside when the tetrahedral modules are folded. The robot has its self-deploying characteristics and it can employ a locomotive squirming motion.
