Organic Robotics Laboratory The Organic Robotics Laboratory led by Dr. Shepherd at Cornell University is an interdisciplinary team of mechanical engineers, materials scientists, and chemists. We are creating new breed of soft robots that mimic the capabilities of living organisms. By using soft materials such as elastomers and hydrogels we can create new modes of human/machine interaction . We are [...]
3D Rolling Disc
bryan2017-09-14T18:18:42+00:00I developed this 3D simulation of a rolling disc as my final project for MAE 6700: Advanced Dynamics, a graduate course at Cornell taught by Dr. Andy Ruina. This is a general solution based on rigid body dynamics, assuming a no-slip condition for the contact between the disc and the ground. I have outlined my [...]
