The Omega Turn: A General Turning Template for Elongate Robots
Baxi Chong, Tianyu Wang, Kelimar Diaz +12
Elongate limbless robots have the potential to locomote through tightly packed spaces for applications such as search-and-rescue and industrial inspections. The capability to effec…
Mechanical Intelligence Simplifies Control in Terrestrial Limbless Locomotion
Tianyu Wang, Christopher Pierce, Velin Kojouharov +4
Limbless locomotors, from microscopic worms to macroscopic snakes, traverse complex, heterogeneous natural environments typically using undulatory body wave propagation. Theoretica…
Water surface swimming dynamics in lightweight centipedes
Kelimar Diaz, Baxi Chong, Steven Tarr +2
Study of the locomotion of a centipede (L. forficatus) at the air-water interface reveals that it does not predominantly use its 14 leg pairs to locomote; unlike most swimmers whic…
Self-propulsion via slipping: frictional swimming in multi-legged locomotors
Baxi Chong, Juntao He, Shengkai Li +5
Locomotion is typically studied either in continuous media where bodies and legs experience forces generated by the flowing medium, or on solid substrates dominated by friction. In…
A general locomotion control framework for multi-legged locomotors
Baxi Chong, Yasemin O. Aydin, Jennifer M. Rieser +13
Serially connected robots are promising candidates for performing tasks in confined spaces such as search-and-rescue in large-scale disasters. Such robots are typically limbless, a…
Geometric phase predicts locomotion performance in undulating living systems across scales
Jennifer M Rieser, Baxi Chong, Chaohui Gong +8
Self-propelling organisms locomote via generation of patterns of self-deformation. Despite the diversity of body plans, internal actuation schemes and environments in limbless vert…
