This paper presents Flying STAR (FSTAR) a reconfigurable hybrid flying quadcopter robot.
FSTAR is the latest in the family of the STAR robots fitted with a sprawling mechanism and …

Collision detection and recovery for aerial robots remain a challenge because of the limited
space for sensors and local stability of the flight controller. We introduce a novel collision …

This letter presents Rising STAR (RSTAR) a novel highly reconfigurable robot. RSTAR
belongs to the family of the STAR robots with similar sprawling capabilities allowing it to run …

This article focuses on the emerging paradigm shift of collision-inclusive motion planning
and control for impact-resilient mobile robots, and develops a unified hierarchical framework …

Models capable of capturing and reproducing the variability observed in experimental trials
can be valuable for planning and control in the presence of uncertainty. This paper reports …

This paper details the development, modeling and performance of AmphiSTAR, a novel high-
speed amphibious robot. The palm size AmphiSTAR, which belongs to the family of STAR …

The paper focuses on collision-inclusive motion planning for impact-resilient mobile robots.
We propose a new deformation recovery and replanning strategy to handle collisions that …

The reconfigurable robot RSTAR (Rising Sprawl Tuned Autonomous Robot) is a newly
developed crawling robot that can reconfigure its shape and shift the location of its center of …

This paper outlines a methodology for the construction of vector fields that can enable a
multi-robot system moving on the plane to generate multiple dynamical behaviors by …

Soft pneumatic legged robots show promise in their ability to traverse a range of different
types of terrain, including natural unstructured terrain met in applications like precision …
