The Multi-Modal Mobility #Morphobot is a #robot capable of negotiating unstructured, multi-substrate environments, including land and air, by employing its components in different ways as #wheels, #thrusters, and #legs. It may #fly, roll, crawl, crouch, balance, tumble, scout, and loco-manipulate https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39018-y
NatureMulti-Modal Mobility Morphobot (M4) with appendage repurposing for locomotion plasticity enhancement - Nature CommunicationsThe biomimicry of animals’ appendage repurposing can be applied to robot designs, resulting in unparalleled capabilities. Sihite et al. report a Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot (M4) that negotiate unstructured, multi-substrate environments, including land and air, by employing its components in different ways as wheels, thrusters, and legs.
