Many robots make use of gravitational potential energy, generated by another mode, to enhance mobility through gliding locomotion. However, unstructured environments can create situations in which the initial conditions for steady-state gliding cannot be achieved; for example, jumping out of a hole,…
Many highly dynamic novel mobile robots have been developed being inspired by animals. In this study, we are inspired by a basilisk lizard's ability to run and steer on water surface for a hexapedal robot. The robot has an active tail with a circular plate, which the robot rotates to steer on water.…
Wall-climbing robot research is increasingly popular for cleaning, painting, and repairing high-rise buildings. In this study, a compliant wall-climbing robotic platform for various curvatures is presented. In order to adapt to flat and curved surfaces with a single configuration, the robotic platfo…
