    Thesis

model

Reduced-order Models, Graduate research , 2012─2014

  • Analyzed the stability property of the Rolling SLIP (R-SLIP) model, which is a 2-DoF dynamic model with compliance and rolling contact
  • Developed the Two-rolling-leg (TRL) model, which is a 3-DoF dynamic model with rigid body and two compliant rolling legs
  • Investigated the gait-level stability property of the TRL model

<more...>

Bio-inspired Legged Robots, Graduate research, 2012─2014

  • Revealed the mapping between dynamic models and the experimental robot
  • Designed a stability-based and model-based control strategy to excite dynamic locomotion of the empirical robot, including jogging, pronking and bounding
  • Introduced a model-based state estimator, which relies on IMU and encoder feedback, as a feedback strategy to improve the stability of the robot’s motion

<more...>

Chicken Head Project, Introduction to Robotics, Dept. of ME, NTU, 2012

  • Developed the control strategy, based on MATLAB codes, to keep track of a  point by utilizing sensory feedback, such as camera and IMU
  • Designed a 2-DoF robot arm; Skills included laser cutting, mechanical design, signal processing and building the mechatronic system for driving 2 DC motors
  • Programmed the LabVIEW codes to govern the motion of the robot arm, including inverse kinematics and trajectory planning

ball

Spherical Robot, College Student Research Projects, 2011─2012

  • Constructed an omnidirectional spherical robot; Skills including laser cutting, glass fiber processing, lost foam casting and operating the winding machine
  • Built the control strategy and mechatronic system to actuate 12 electromagnets by commanding different PWM signals to each electromagnet
  • Programmed the LabVIEW codes to control the motion of the robot
