Adaptive morphology-based design of multi-locomotion flying and crawling robot “PENS-FlyCrawl”

摘要

Usually, robot is designed by using only one locomotion mechanism, such as walking, hopping, and jumping. The reason, among others, are simplicity, saving energy, and focus on single task and mission. This paper deal with design and implementation of multimodal flying and crawling robot by using adaptive morphology. The aim of this development is to provide robot platform that could achieve multiple locomotion mechanism in order to perform flexible and challenging mission. This kind robot is required in the field like collapse building due to earthquake that cluttered, unstructured and unstable.
