Study of Seismic Robot Actuation Using COMSOL Multiphysics.

摘要

This project explores seismic actuation using a global vibration field as a means to communicate with and power mesoscale crawling robots. Structures within the robots cause them to respond to particular frequencies with different motion modalities. The robots are steered by controlling the frequencies present in the vibration field. COMSOL Multiphysics was used to investigate the dynamics of motion of the robots. Good matching was observed between experiment and the model when the boundary conditions were set to allow for rocking.
