The overall goal of this project is to build local and regional communities to provide anticipatory guidance for (a) disabled-led technology development and (b) community articulation of values in developing disability-forward technological futures.
This work investigates a data-driven template model for trajectory planning of dynamic quadrupedal robots. Many state-of-the-art approaches involve using a reduced-order model, primarily due to computational tractability. The spirit of the trajectory planning approach in this work draws on recent advancements in the area of behavioral systems theory. Here, we aim to capitalize on the knowledge of well-known template models to construct a data-driven model, enabling us to obtain an information rich reduced-order model.
This project was focused on the design of an affordable housing unit that can address the challenges of sustainable development. The design was also developed for prefabrication in the factory setting through optimized modularization for logistics purposes including on-site installation and transportation across multiple states.
