Soft vibrational bristlebots are robots with deformable bristles on their outside that propel the robot through the stick slip motion of the bristle tips interacting with the ground when a vibration is induced in the robot. Experimental results and theoretical analysis of the dynamics for this style of robot have been investigated on flat surfaces. However, for the soft vibrational bristlebots tra...
