Crawling by body deformation of tensegrity structure robots
Abstract— In this paper, we describe the design of a deformable robot with a tensegrity structure that can crawl and we show the results of experiments showing the ability of the...

Crawling and Jumping by a Deformable Robot
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...

Morpho: A self-deformable modular robot inspired by cellular structure
— We present a modular robot design inspired by the creation of complex structures and functions in biology via deformation. Our design is based on the Tensegrity model of cellul...

Articulated Soft Objects for Video-based Body Modeling
We develop a framework for 3?D shape and motion recovery of articulated deformable objects. We propose a formalism that incorporates the use of implicit surfaces into earlier robo...
