SUMMARY:Chenghao Wang's MS Thesis Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Legged Walking on Inclined Surfaces” \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Alireza Ramezani(Advisor)\nProf. Miriam Leeser\nProf. Bahram Shafai \nAbstract:\nThe main contributions of this MS Thesis are centered around taking steps towards successful multi-modal demonstrations using Northeastern’s legged-aerial robot\, Husky Carbon. This work discusses the challenges involved in achieving multi-modal locomotion such as trotting-hovering and thruster-assisted incline walking and reports progress made towards overcoming these challenges. Animals like birds use a combination of legged and aerial mobility\, as seen in Chukars’s wing-assisted incline running (WAIR)\, to achieve multi-modal locomotion. Chukars use forces generated by their flapping wings to manipulate ground contact forces and traverse steep slopes and overhangs. Husky’s design takes inspiration from birds such as Chukars. This MS thesis presentation outlines the mechanical and electrical details of Husky’s legged and aerial units. The thesis presents simulated incline walking using a high-fidelity model of the Husky Carbon over steep slopes of up to 45 degrees.

SUMMARY:IER Open House
DESCRIPTION:Following our success with last year’s Open House\, we are again opening the lab up to visitors! This year\, demos will be held on the 5th floor of ISEC by Yingzi Lin\, Ilya Vidrin\, Alireza Ramezani\, Taskin Padir\, Kris Dorsey\, Rob Platt\, and Hanu Singh. In Richards Hall\, Dagmar Sternad\, CJ Hasson\, and Max Shepherd will be hosting demos as well.\n\n\nThe flyer for this event is attached.
