Rapid and Reversible Morphing to Enable Multifunctionality in Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces a rapid, reversible, and repeatable morphing robot through a bistable latch‐mediated, spring actuated (LaMSA) mechanism. This enables an untethered, multifunctional robot to near‐instantaneously (< 50 ms) and reversibly switch between a flying and driving configuration to navigate through different environments.

Multistable Composite Laminate Grids as a Design Tool for Soft Reconfigurable Multirotors

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Flexible, lightweight, stable: the reconfigurable multirotor combines stable flight in multiple shapes with low‐energy reconfiguration. Utilizing optimized multistable composites, it achieves self‐locking in open and folded configurations, cutting width‐span by 48% and allowing for safe gap traversal.

An Aerial Robot Achieving Bimodal Flight and Independent Attitude Control through Passive Morphing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a bimodal aerial robot capable of operating in both standard quadcopter and revolving flight modes. With four rotors, it independently controls position and roll‐pitch attitude across five degrees of freedom. The design features passive revolute joints, allowing seamless mid‐air transitions between modes using centrifugal forces ...
