Designing minimal and scalable insect-inspired multi-locomotion millirobots
Abstract
In ant colonies, collectivity enables division of labour and resources1-3 with great scalability. Beyond their intricate social behaviours, individuals of the genus Odontomachus4, also known as trap-jaw ants, have developed remarkable multi-locomotion mechanisms to 'escape-jump' upwards when threatened, using the sudden snapping of their mandibles5, and to negotiate obstacles by leaping forwards using their legs6. Emulating such diverse insect...
