Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators
A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.
