Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Composite material
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Anatomy, Control theory, Blaberus discoidalis and Robot. The study incorporates disciplines such as Force platform, Rhex and STRIDE in addition to Mechanics. The concepts of his Anatomy study are interwoven with issues in Climb, Gecko, Dynamics and Climbing.

He interconnects Kinematics, Passive dynamics and Animal locomotion in the investigation of issues within Control theory. His Robot research incorporates elements of Control system, Simulation, Slip and Computer vision. His research in the fields of Adhesion overlaps with other disciplines such as Synthetic setae.

His most cited work include:

  • Adhesive force of a single gecko foot-hair (1902 citations)
  • Evidence for van der Waals adhesion in gecko setae (1383 citations)
  • How Animals Move: An Integrative View (1118 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Robot, Control theory, Mechanics, Anatomy and Simulation. The Robot study combines topics in areas such as Control engineering, Robustness and Climbing. His Control theory research includes themes of Angular momentum, Kinematics, Stability and Dynamics.

Robert J. Full has researched Mechanics in several fields, including Terrestrial locomotion, Mechanism, Ground reaction force and STRIDE. His Anatomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Decapoda, Gecko and Stimulation. His work on Gekko gecko as part of general Gecko research is often related to Synthetic setae, thus linking different fields of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Robot (20.79%)
  • Control theory (15.73%)
  • Mechanics (15.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Robot (20.79%)
  • Cockroach (8.99%)
  • Control theory (15.73%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Robot, Cockroach, Control theory, Artificial intelligence and Scaling. His Robot research includes elements of Simulation and Robustness. His Cockroach research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rotational energy, Multi joint coordination, Statistics and Anatomy.

Robert J. Full has included themes like Adaptability and Wing in his Control theory study. His work in the fields of Artificial intelligence, such as Robotics and Social robot, intersects with other areas such as Root and Grand Challenges. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Potential energy, focusing on Mechanics and, on occasion, STRIDE.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The grand challenges of Science Robotics (361 citations)
  • Cockroaches traverse crevices, crawl rapidly in confined spaces, and inspire a soft, legged robot (70 citations)
  • Insect-scale fast moving and ultrarobust soft robot (53 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Composite material
  • Artificial intelligence

Robert J. Full focuses on Robot, Artificial intelligence, Computer vision, Legged robot and Robustness. His work focuses on many connections between Robot and other disciplines, such as Simulation, that overlap with his field of interest in Relative velocity, Climb, Vibration, Mechanism and Unimorph. His study on Robotics, Adaptive morphology and Medical robotics is often connected to Application areas as part of broader study in Artificial intelligence.

His research in Robotics intersects with topics in Engineering ethics and Social robot. His Legged robot study incorporates themes from Drag, Mechanics and Thrust. His Robustness study is concerned with the larger field of Control theory.
