| Abstract | This study proposes and examines a novel approach to generate peristaltic locomotion gait in a segmented origami robot. Specifically, we demonstrate how to harness elastic multi-stability embedded in a soft origami skeleton to create an earthworm-like locomotion. Origami is attractive for building soft robots because it can exhibit the essential compliance and reduce the part count. Most importantly, it can work as an actuation mechanism. Moreover, embedding multi-stability into an origami skeleton allows it to remain in any of the stable states and switch between different states via a series of jumps. In this paper, we use two serially connected bistable Kresling segments, each featuring a generalized crease pattern design and a foldable anchoring mechanism, to develop a driving module for crawling soft robot. Multi-stability analysis of this dual-segment module reveals a four-phase actuation cycle, which is then used to generate the peristaltic gait. Instead of controlling the segment deformations individually like in earthworm and other crawling robots; we only control the total length of our driving module. This approach can significantly reduce the total number of actuators needed for locomotion and simplify the control requirements. The purpose of this paper is to combine the best features of multi-stable mechanisms and origami to advance the state of art of earthworm inspired crawling soft robot. Our results demonstrate the potential of using multi-stable origami mechanisms to generate locomotion gaits without the need of complex controllers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
