Robotics Subgroup

This is the page about the Robotics Subgroup. ~I haven’t done this, but someone will update this one day~

1) Read Aguilar et al Rep Prog Phys 2016 (warning: it’s long!). Choose one specific aspect from this paper you find particularly interesting and prepare a short 5-10 minute journal-club style presentation on the topic for the rest of the group.

2) Read Divi et al Royal Society Interface 2020. What does a rounded latch enable? What are some trade-offs?

3) Get familiar with the high speed camera. You will want to read the high speed camera SOP (SOP = standard operating procedure, we have lots of these). Use one of the high speed cameras to film something fun! Upload your results to the posmlab/Fun Videos directory and let others know. We all love watching fun high speed videos. Tanvi’s dog drinking water is a fan favorite!

4) Make your first measurement of a robotic jump! You’ll want to talk to Amber about this in particular. This will require hands-on training from Amber.
