- A scalable, modular leg design for multi-legged stair climbing robotsInfoDetails
T. BUETTNER, D. WILKE, A. ROENNAU, G. HEPPNER and R. DILLMANN, 2018
Improving robustness of walking robots has always been problematic. Their complex kinematics and locomotion has always been prone to damage: a broken cable, an unstable foothold or a wrong set of parameters has been an everlasting source of frustration. Nature developed an extraordinary robustness through redundancy and fast adaptation. Theories about decentralized nervous systems has inspired this paper with a novel approach. The presented solution aims at relocating low-level walking behaviours to a network of computers and, more exactly, into the robots individual legs. This paper will not cover the full scope of the software implementation (this is a eld found especially in modular robotics), but presents how such an encapsulated leg with all necessary hardware is built and focuses on the mechanical and kinematic aspect of such legs. It highlights how a robotic leg needs to be designed to tackle structured environments serves as explanatory guide through the design process of legs with integrated PCU and sensors.
- The intelligent Computer Aided Satellite Designer iCASD - Creating viable configurations for modular satellitesInfoDetails

The introduction of modular satellite systems represents an attractive goal pursued by several aerospace agencies as well as scientific institutions worldwide. Advantages in robustness, long-term use and production are only few examples that speak for modularity. The downside to modularity is the still prevailing complexity of designing satellites and their building blocks. The intelligent Computer Aided Satellite Designer (iCASD) was developed initially to speed up this design process. The tedious work of fitting, placing and integrating multiple components is especially time consuming since every building block comes with often competing restrictions. The presented tool uses the modularity of satellite components, and turns the design process into an abstracted problem capable to be solved by methods such as the proposed genetic algorithm. In this paper, we will present the underlying processes, how building blocks and corresponding rules are modelled and how a optimal configuration is calculated with this comprehensive tool.
- DESIGN OF AN EXCHANGEABLE, COMPACT AND MODULAR BIO-INSPIRED LEG FOR SIX-LEGGED WALKING ROBOTSInfoDetails
Timothee Buettner, Arne Roennau, Georg Heppner and Ruediger Dillmann, 2017
Walking robots are designed to cope with di?cult, challenging terrain. There-fore, developers have to take special care not to damage or break their robots legs in such environments. The shoulder joints are especially su?ering from high stress values. This work presents a concept for a robust, modular shoul-der design for bio-inspired hexapods. It was evaluated and is being used for the current version of the walking robot LAURON V.
