Analysis of worm-like locomotion
Nature is a storehouse of great ideas, which are mostly so well planned, that engineers can apply them directly via examining, understanding and imitating the natural working principles. Snakes and worms can be found in almost every region of our planet. Their success is mainly based on the simple construction of their body and their robust locomotion technique. Snakes and worms move their body...
متن کاملWorm-Like Robotic Locomotion with a Compliant Modular Mesh
In order to mimic and better understand the way an earthworm uses its many segments to navigate diverse terrain, this paper describes the design, performance, and sensing capabilities of a new modular soft robotic worm. The robot, Compliant Modular Mesh Worm (CMMWorm), utilizes a compliant mesh actuated at modular segments to create waveforms along its body. These waveforms can generate perista...
متن کاملkinematics and dynamics of a snake robot with worm like locomotion on inclined surface
snake robots are hyper-redundant robots that are connected with one or two dof joints. they offer a number of potential advantages beyond the capabilities of most wheeled and legged robots. in this paper, kinematics and dynamics of a planar multi-link snake robot in worm-like locomotion on an inclined surface is investigated. in this locomotion, snake robot is able to move in the vertical plane...
متن کاملWorm Sperm and Advances in Cell Locomotion
Across the animal kingdom, fertilization requires the encounter between a large stationary egg and small motile sperm. To maximize their likelihood of reaching the egg before their competition, sperm are extraordinarily specialized cells, generally consisting of little more than a haploid nucleus, mitochondria to generate energy, and a highly efficient movement engine. Almost all animal sperm a...
متن کاملLocomotion of a Modular Worm-like Robot using a FPGA-based embedded MicroBlaze Soft-processor
Modular reconfigurable robots offer the promise of more versatility, robustness, and low cost. They are composed of simple and small modules, capable of attach and detach one to each other. In this paper, a modular worm-like robot composed of a chain of 8 similar modules is presented. A travelling wave, that moves from the tail to the head, propels the robot forward. The positions of the articu...
