  • Abstract
    This research focuses on the development of flexible robot prototypes capable of robust terrestrial exploration. The development of such mechanisms is important, on the one hand, to enhance remote sensing capabilities during emergency situations, and on the other hand, to investigate new forms of mobility. In this paper, the design and implementation of an inchworm-like modular robot prototype are described. This prototype was developed to perform exploration tasks of unknown environments with obstacles and walls
