SOFT ROBOT INSPIRED BY OCTOPUS LIKE BEHAVIOR : LIGHT WEIGHT AND EXTENDED RANGE OF MOVEMENT

In this study, we developed a new type of robot that can move on the floor surface, inspired by the movement of an octopus. To realize the new robot, we reviewed the center of gravity and other aspects of the robot, taking into account the ladder-climbing robot, and attempted to reduce the robot\u27s weight. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the new robot, we conducted experiments in which the robot moved on a relatively smooth floor, and were able to achieve effective behavior

LADDER CLIMBING SOFT ROBOT INSPIRED BY OCTOPUS LIKE BEHAVIOR

In this study, we propose a climbing robot inspired by octopus like behavior. The robot has two soft arms inspired by octopus like behavior. The robot can be controlled only two-dimensional control inputs in spite of its many degrees of freedom, and it can grasp various bar and objects. We developed a prototype made of silicone, and experiments were conducted to demonstrate climbing motion over a ladder, aerial ladder and bumpy walls. Results confirmed that the proposed soft arm is effective, and the robot can climb various types of ladders and bumpy walls only two motors
