A Novel Crawling Robot Based on the Hexagonal Mesh Structure and Enhanced PID Control Strategy
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The locomotion of crawling robots is similar to that of caterpillars, relying on foot adhesion and body contraction to ensure flexible movement without compromising stability. However, most existing pneumatic soft crawling robots are incapable of simultaneously achieving forward, backward, turning, and climbing capabilities.
