Generalized Omega Turn Gait Enables Agile Limbless Robot Turning in Complex Environments
Tianyu Wang, Baxi Chong, Yuelin Deng +3
Reorientation (turning in plane) plays a critical role for all robots in any field application, especially those that in confined spaces. While important, reorientation remains a r…

The Geometry of Optimal Gaits for Inertia-dominated Kinematic Systems
Ross L. Hatton, Zachary Brock, Shuoqi Chen +5
Isolated mechanical systems -- e.g., those floating in space, in free-fall, or on a frictionless surface -- are able to achieve net rotation by cyclically changing their shape, eve…
