Published peer reviewed paper, Lateral bending and buckling aids biological and robotic earthworm anchoring and locomotion, to Bioinspiration and Biomimetics (2021).
Data collection, design, and development of Robotic Earthworm for peer reviewed paper.
Developed testing environments for robot to examine body bending as an anchor mechanism to locomote.
Integrated flexible PCB and strain sensor which determined values based on change in the shape of the flexible sensor.
Redesigned Smarticle, to integrate a charging port and increase structural integrity.
Integrated Buzzer and LED to improve swarm capabilities, allowing smarticle-to-smarticle communication.
