SUMMARY:Spring 2024 GRASP SFI: Raphael Zufferey\, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne\, "Flying robots: exploring hybrid locomotion and physical interaction"
DESCRIPTION:This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week’s speaker will be virtual. \nABSTRACT\nAutonomous flying robots have become widespread in recent years\, yet their capability to interact with the environment. remains limited. Moving in multiple fluids is one of the great challenges of mobile robotics\, and carries great potential for application in biological and environmental studies. In particular\, hybrid locomotion provides the means to cross large distances and obstacles or even change from one body of water to another thanks to flight. At the same time\, they are capable of operating underwater\, collecting samples\, video and aquatic metrics. However\, the challenges of operating in both air and water are complex. In this talk\, we will introduce these challenges and cover several research solutions which aim to adress these in different modalities\, depending on locomotion and objectives. Bio-inspiration plays a crucial role in these solutions\, and the topic of flapping flight in the context of physical interaction will also be presented.
