SUMMARY:Fall 2023 GRASP SFI: E. Farrell Helbling\, Cornell University\, “Autonomy for insect-scale robots”
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. \nABSTRACT\nCountless science fiction works have set our expectations for small\, mobile\, autonomous robots for use in a broad range of applications. The ability to move through highly dynamic and complex environments can expand capabilities in search and rescue operations and safety inspection tasks. These robots can also form a diverse collective to provide more flexibility than a multifunctional robot. Advances in multi-scale manufacturing and the proliferation of small electronic devices have paved the way to realizing this vision with centimeter-scale robots. However\, there remain significant challenges in making these highly-articulated mechanical devices fully autonomous due to the severe mass and power constraints. My research takes a holistic approach to navigating the inherent tradeoffs in each component in terms of their size\, mass\, power\, and computation requirements. In this talk I will present strategies for creating an autonomous vehicle\, the RoboBee – an insect scale flapping-wing robot with unprecedented mass\, power\, and computation constraints. I will present my work on the analysis of control and power requirements for this vehicle\, as well as results on the integration of onboard sensors. I also will discuss recent results that culminate nearly two decades of effort to create a power autonomous insect-scale vehicle. Lastly\, I will outline how this design strategy can be readily applied to other micro and bioinspired autonomous robots.
