Variable Topology Trusses (VTT)
Variable Topology Trusses (VTT) are a new type of modular self-reconfigurable robot. A VTT is composed of linear actuator modules that are connected to form a truss using reconfigurable joints.
One application of VTT is to form a temporary support structure to shore up damaged buildings, protecting rescuers during a search and rescue operation.
Underwater Weather
The ScalAR lab is collaborating with researchers in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department at Penn to better understand the underwater weather of the Schuylkill River.
Data gathered will be used for developing data-driven models and adaptive sampling strategies for robots. These efforts will allow us to better understand how to protect rivers, which play a large role in our everyday lives – including drinking water!

Origami-inspired robot that swims via jet- propulsion
Underwater swimmers present unique opportunities for using bodily reconfiguration for self-propulsion. Origami-inspired designs are low-cost, fast to fabricate, robust, and can be used to
create compliant mechanisms useful in energy-efficient underwater locomotion.
