Abstract
Data detailed on Robotics have been pr esented. According to news reporting from Mianyang, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "The inchworm ‘ s locomotion strategy ha s significantly influenced bionic robotics research, guiding efforts to mimic it s structural and movement characteristics. This study introduces an innovative m ethod to modulate horizontal friction in an inchworm-inspired robot using normal vibrations." Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China ( NSFC), Natural Science Foundation of Southwest University of Science and Technol ogy. The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Southwest Un iversity of Science and Technology, "By harnessing the dynamics between friction forces, self-deformation, and normal excitations, the robot can mimic crawling motion. A simplified mechanical model is established to reveal the robot ‘ s mov ement. And the numerical simulations are conducted to analyze the influence of e xcitation and friction coefficients on the robot ‘ s movement. The findings reve al that the robot ‘ s velocity initially increases and then decreases as the exc itation frequency increases, signifying the feasibility of achieving precise con trol through normal excitations."
