MorphoBall: A Bio-Inspired Transformable Spherical Robot with Dual Terrestrial Gaits and Surface Swimming Capability

ICRA 2026poster

MorphoBall is a bio-inspired, deformable spherical robot designed for multimodal locomotion across terrestrial and aquatic environments. By integrating a dual-mode drive system (spherical rolling and differential-drive) with a morphology-mediated propulsion mechanism, MorphoBall achieves adaptive mo…

A Homotopy Invariant Based on Convex Dissection Topology and a Distance Optimal Path Planning Algorithm

RA-L 2023

The concept of path homotopy has received widely attention in the field of path planning in recent years. In this letter, a homotopy invariant based on convex dissection for a two-dimensional bounded Euclidean space is developed, which can efficiently encode all homotopy path classes between any two

CDT-Dijkstra: Fast Planning of Globally Optimal Paths for All Points in 2D Continuous Space

IROS 2023poster

The Dijkstra algorithm is a classic path planning method, which in a discrete graph space, can start from a specified source node and find the shortest path between the source node and all other nodes in the graph. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no effective method that achieves a f…
