A Soft, Modular, and Bi-stable Dome Actuator for Programmable Multi-Modal Locomotion

Movement in bio-inspired robots typically relies on the use of a series of actuators and transmissions with one or more degrees of freedom (DOF), allowing asymmetrical ellipsoidal gaits for use in walking, running, swimming, and crawling. In an effort to simplify these multi-component systems, we pr…
