— As jumping is an effective method of moving over rough terrain, there is much interest in building robots that can jump, and deformation of a soft robot’s body is an effectiv...
Abstract— We describe circular/spherical robots for crawling and jumping. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg ...
We describe crawling and jumping by a deformable robot. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg mechanisms. This pap...
— The work presented in this paper addresses the problem of the stitching task in laparoscopic surgery using a circular needle and a conventional 4 DOFs needle-holder. This task ...
