Buoyancy Enabled Non-Inertial Dynamic Walking
Mark Yim,Walker Gosrich,Marc Miskin,Mark Yim,Walker Gosrich,Marc Miskin
We propose a mechanism for low Reynolds num-ber walking (e.g., legged microscale robots). Whereas locomotion for legged robots has traditionally been classified as dynamic (where inertia plays a role) or static (where the system is always statically stable), we introduce a new locomotion modality we call buoyancy enabled non-inertial dynamic walking in which inertia plays no role, yet the robot is...
