Self-Righting Shell for Robotic Hexapod

Katelyn King,Shai Revzen,Katelyn King,Shai Revzen

Decimeter scale robots in human environments are small relative to obstacles they encounter, making them prone to flipping over and needing to self-right. We present a multifaceted shell that by its geometry alone enables the hexapedal robot MediumANT to passively self-right without the need for additional sensory feedback. We designed the shell by specifying the cross-sectional geometry in the yz...
