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…
Dispersion Relations for Active Undulators in Overdamped Environments
Christopher J. Pierce, Daniel Irvine, Lucinda Peng +3
Organisms that locomote by propagating waves of body bending can maintain performance across heterogeneous environments by modifying their gait frequency or wavenumber . We…
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…
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…
