Slide1: 

Robot Fabrication

Shape Deposition Manufacturing: 

Shape Deposition Manufacturing Add and Remove material – relatively arbitrary geometries Mill accuracy for external and internal surfaces Deposit (part) Shape

SDM Process: 

SDM Process Can also embed components Pressure Transducer

SDM Process: 

SDM Process Can spatially vary material properties – within and between layers

SDM Process: 

SDM Process Material Properties and Database Material Considerations cdr.stanford.edu /biomimetics/sdm.html Machinability Minimal shrinkage Bonds to self Low viscosity Low curing temperature Strength/stiffness

State of the Art – Sept. 1999: 

State of the Art – Sept. 1999 Manufacturing Embedded components Multiple-materials

State of the Art - Sept. 1999: 

State of the Art - Sept. 1999 Robot prototypes – Old Sprawl Passive compliant hips Walks well No control of direction or amount of compliance Ad hoc construction – No SDM

Goal for Aug. 2000 – SDM Robot: 

Goal for Aug. 2000 – SDM Robot Compliant hip Feedforward Alternating tripod Stable running Obstacle traversal

SDM Robots: 

SDM Robots 1st SDM leg Limited control of amount and direction of compliance Imbedded connectors and piston Reproducible, but non-functional design

SDM Robots: 

SDM Robots 1DOF leg One primary direction of compliance Works very well, robust Currently investigating the effect of varying compliance

SDM Robots: 

SDM Robots 2 DOF legs Linear and Rotational DOFs Can independently control direction and amount of compliance

Spatial 4-bar Mechanism: 

Spatial 4-bar Mechanism

SDM Process Planning: 

SDM Process Planning

Current Work: 

Current Work Modular Compliance Can manually swap flex segments 10 different levels Is being used to test the effects of varying the stiffness of the leg

Current Work: 

Current Work Modular Bodies Can manually swap Servo Motors and Valves Embedded electronic backbone Robust packaging

Future Work: 

Future Work Foot Design Design feet for optimal ground contact Embed contact/force sensors into legs Feed back for adaptation Jorge failed feet
