Past Research at the Autonomous Systems Lab

The mission and dedication of the ASL members is to create robots and intelligent systems that are able to autonomously operate in complex and diverse environments.

Professor Remy's previous research at the Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL) focused on the design, modeling, simulation, optimization, and control of quadrupedal robots.  The work included conceptual simulation studies, as well as extensive work on robotic prototypes. In particular, Prof. Remy was involved in the development of StarlETH, the Springy Tetrapod with Articulated Robotic Legs. This robot is designed to study fast, efficient, and versatile locomotion.  StarlETH is a quadrupedal platform with 12 actuated degrees of freedom, which are all driven by series elastic actuators. In the latest version, the robot is able to perform dynamic walking and trotting, with on board energy supply and computation.
