Robot designs can take many inspirations from nature, where there are many examples of
highly resilient and fault-tolerant locomotion strategies to navigate complex terrains by using …

Rough terrain locomotion has remained one of the most challenging mobility questions. In
2022, NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program invited US academic …

Inspired by Chukars wing-assisted incline running (WAIR), in this work, we employ a high-
fidelity model of our Husky Carbon quadrupedal-legged robot to walk over steep slopes of …

Along with the advancement of robot skin technology, there has been notable progress in
the development of snake robots featuring body-surface tactile perception. In this study, we …

This work presents an actuation framework for a bioinspired flapping drone called Aerobat.
This drone, capable of producing dynamically versatile wing conformations, possesses 14 …

The main contributions of this MS Thesis is centered around taking steps towards successful
multi-modal demonstrations using Northeastern's legged-aerial robot, Husky Carbon. This …

This work briefly covers our efforts to stabilize the flight dynamics of Northeatern's tailless bat-
inspired micro aerial vehicle, Aerobat. Flapping robots are not new. A plethora of examples …

Bat's dynamically morphing wings are highly versatile with many active and passive modes
which allows them to display highly dexterous flight maneuvers. We take inspiration from bat …

Vertebrate flyers perform intermittent flights as bounding or oscillating flights for power
management. Intermittent flights and the resulting oscillating height during flapping and …

This research focuses on enabling Northeastern University's Husky, a multi-modal
quadrupedal robot, to navigate narrow paths akin to various animals in nature. The Husky is …
