The Development of Actuators for the Whole Skin Locomotion Robot
The Whole Skin Locomotion robot propels itself using a motion similar to the cytoplasmic streaming exhibited by an amoeba. In the robot there are embedded ring actuators which evert the material of the robot to produce forward motion. The robot benefits from a highly flexible exterior allowing it to...
