Adaptive Morphing and Environmental-Phase-Transition Enables Effective Locomotion inside Granular Media
IROS 2025
This study introduces a novel burrowing robot that achieves effective locomotion inside granular media through the synergistic integration of high-frequency vibration-induced environmental-phase-transition (EPT) and adaptive morphing. The robotic system employs three key innovations: 1) an asymmetri
