Locomotion through rolling is attractive compared to other forms of locomotion thanks to
uniform designs, high degree of mobility, dynamic stability, and self-recovery from collision …

Unstructured environments call for versatile robots with adaptable morphology that can
perform multiple goal-directed actions including locomotion in confined spaces …

This paper proposes a novel morphological modular robot that is capable of switching
multiple directions and rolling locomotion. The mechanism of the robot resembles a …

This article presents a novel tetrahedral soft-legged robot for multigait locomotion, including
steering, crawling, and rolling along three different directions. The proposed robot has a …

This paper presents a novel triangular closed-chain soft rolling robot. The proposed robot
uses the least number of soft actuators (ie three) among current closed-chain soft rolling …

Previous rolling soft robots have difficulty in balancing the locomotion speed with energy
efficiency and have limited terrain adaptability. This work proposes a rolling soft robot driven …

In this work, we design a type of soft robots for flipping locomotion, called the FifoBots.
Different from most of the current soft robots that perform crawling, rolling, or jumping …

The inherent compliance of soft mobile robots makes them a safe option for interaction with
humans and fragile environments. To expand their possibilities around our daily life, it is …

In this paper, a brand-new double-beam piezoelectric robot (DBPR) is developed. The
configuration is designed as a combination of piezoelectric drive units and joint beams. The …

The Soft Rolling Robot (SRR) excels in adaptability across diverse natural terrains,
demonstrating significant flexibility, environmental interaction capabilities, and impact …
