falling cat robot

This project involves the design, build, and control of an inertial-reorienting robot, mimicking the cat-righting reflex of our furry feline friends. We constrained the problem to the drop height of a typical room, a cat’s normal domain or “cat space”, which requires full reorientation in less than 1 second. This consists of a full 180 degree reorientation landing on its feet. As indicated in corresponding literature, we designed and built a two degree of freedom system consisting of two revolute joints at perpendicular offset to accomplish this.
