This paper presents the development of a quadrotor vehicle capable of movement between air and water environments. The design challenges, including torque matching in the propulsion system, balance maintenance in different mediums, and waterproofing requirements, are discussed. A prototype is constr…
The McKibben muscle can produce a high force-to-mass ratio, beneficial for various applications in the soft mechatronics field. The thin McKibben muscle, which has a small diameter, has the advantage of a high force-to-mass ratio and sufficient flexibility for use in a bent state. This flexibility p
A tensegrity-based system is a promising approach for dynamic exploration of uneven, unpredictable, and confined environments. However, implementing such systems presents challenges in state recognition. In this study, we introduce a 6-strut tensegrity structure integrated with 24 multimodal strain
