However, some caterpillars can curl into a wheel and generate their own rolling momentum as part of an escape repertoire. This change in body conformation occurs well within 100 ms and generates a linear velocity over 0.2 m s -1 , making it one of the fastest self-propelled wheeling behaviors in nature. Inspired by this behavior, we construct a soft-bodied robot to explore the dynamics and control issues of ballistic rolling. This robot, called GoQBot, closely mimics caterpillar rolling. Analyzing the whole body kinematics and 2D ground reaction forces at the robot ground anchor reveals about 1 G of acceleration and more than 200 rpm of angular velocity. As a novel rolling robot, GoQBot demonstrates how morphing can produce new modes of locomotion. Furthermore, mechanical coupling of the actuators improves body coordination without sensory feedback. Such coupling is intrinsic to soft-bodied animals because there are no joints to isolate muscle-generated movements. Finally, GoQBot provides an estimate of the mechanical power for caterpillar rolling that is comparable to that of a locust jump. How caterpillar musculature produces such power in such a short time is yet to be discovered.} } @article{clune-endless, author = {Clune, Jeff and Lipson, Hod}, title = {Evolving 3D objects with a generative encoding inspired by developmental biology}, journal = {SIGEVOlution}, volume = {5}, number = {4}, month = nov, year = {2011}, issn = {1931-8499}, pages = {2--12}, numpages = {11}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2078245.2078246}, doi = {10.1145/2078245.2078246}, acmid = {2078246}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, } @inproceedings{bongard-3d-cppn, author = {Auerbach, Joshua E. and Bongard, Josh C.}, title = {Evolving CPPNs to grow three-dimensional physical structures}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 12th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation}, series = {GECCO '10}, year = {2010}, isbn = {978-1-4503-0072-8}, location = {Portland, Oregon, USA}, pages = {627--634}, numpages = {8}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1830483.1830597}, doi = {10.1145/1830483.1830597}, acmid = {1830597}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, keywords = {evolutionary robotics, generative and developmental systems}, } %% Created for John Rieffel at 2008-04-17 15:14:08 -0400 @article{Lobo:form, title = "Evolution of form and function in a model of differentiated multicellular organisms with gene regulatory networks", journal = "Biosystems", volume = "102", number = "23", pages = "112 - 123", year = "2010", issn = "0303-2647", doi = "10.1016/j.biosystems.2010.08.003", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0303264710001425", author = "Daniel Lobo and Francisco J.
