Small rescue robot

During my undergraduate time, I was making a startup with friends from our robotic club, and beside of the main projects we employed in the company, there were some other products we designed. One of my ideas is the small rescue robot. The idea come from the news that in 2013 there were many disasters…

Origami Snake Robot

To combine the flexibility of soft robotics and the portability and efficiency of traditional electrical actuation, I took part in designing and controlling this self-contained, lightweight, low cost and flexible origami robotic snake (OriSnake). Note: Origami is the Japanese art of creating structures and objects by folding paper. Taking inspiration from this technique, we can create…

3-D Soft Robotic Snake

Robots offer great promise in assisting search-and-rescue operations in extremely uncertain and cluttered environments after a variety of disasters. The simple structure of a snake robot has the capability to traverse complex, constrained, 3-D environments (small gaps, tough terrain). Snake robots have been developed using traditional robotic structures composed of rigid links and discrete joints, though capable of snake-like motion, suffer from a number…
