2008

[IEEE] Symposium: M. Abrahantes, A. Silver, L. Wendt, D. Lithio. Construction and Control of a 4-Tetrahedron Walker Robot. Southeastern Symposium on System Theory, Fortieth vol: pgs. 343-346.

  • Abstract: This work describes the construction of a 4- Tetrahedron Walker Robot using inexpensive material. The final hardware selection in building the robot will be covered. Both mechanical systems and the electronic control systems will be discussed in detail. A concept has been formulated to implement the control in the case of choreographic designed gaits or for a commands node position


2007

[IEEE] Symposium: M. Abrahantes, A. Silver, L. Wendt. Gait Design and Modeling of a 12-Tetrahedron Walker Robot. Southeastern Symposium on System Theory, Thirty-Ninth vol: pgs. 21-25.

  • Abstract: This work describes the use of a simulating walking robot to model the tetrahedron walker robots being developed at NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center. As a contribution to the gait generation and motion control of the tetrahedron walker robots, a concept has been formulated to implement in the case of choreographic designed gaits. This work is part of the contribution of this Hope College team to the development of tetrahedron walker robots by the ANTS group at Goddard.
