\"\"<\/a>
\nI am planning to further develop the idea of modular mesh robots<\/strong>: 2D topology configurations composed of pitch modules in the x and y axes. Specifically, I am interested in the locomotion capabilities of these robots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The basic unit consist of four modules in a cross. It can be seen that there are two pitch-pitch minimum configurations<\/strong> rotated 90 degrees. The locomotion of the minimum configuration has been deeply studied in my Ph. Dissertation<\/a>. My hypothesis is that applying the same coordination independently to every PP configuration, the locomotion of the robot in the x and y directions can be achieved. And if the two movements are superposed, the locomotion in other directions can also be performed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This configuration is composed of 2×2 three-module snakes. There are two snakes pointing in the y axis and two in the x. The hypothesis is that Combining the locomotion of these 4 snakes, the movement of the complete robot can be realized<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here there is a 3×3 four-module snake configuration:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some questions that arise are<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

  • Can be the locomotion of the modular mesh robots be achieved just by supoerposing the motion of the individual snakes?<\/li>\n
  • What other kind of locomotion gaits can be performed on these robots?<\/li>\n
  • What are the potential applications of these robots?<\/li>\n
