Introduction
Our goal is to design an innovative robot that employs simple pneumatic actuation to dynamically alter its orientation. Through continuous motion, the robot seamlessly morphs into various geometries, enabling it to navigate in multiple directions.
Initial Idea sketches
Chip board prototype
We used laser cutting method to prototype an initial design that features the structure we ultimately want.

3D print version
The 3D printed version features a bunch of snap-able modules allowing for different design.
Orange snap joints is used to lock the state of the legs.
module testing before deciding on which mechanism to implement to our robot.
