TerraSkipper: A Centimeter-Scale Robot for Multi-Terrain Skipping and Crawling

Description

Mudskippers are unique amphibious fish capable of locomotion in diverse environments, including terrestrial surfaces, aquatic habitats, and highly viscous substrates such as mud. This versatile locomotion is largely enabled by their powerful tail, which stores and rapidly releases energy to produce impulsive jumps. Inspired by this biological mechanism, we present the design and development of a multi-terrain centimeter-scale skipping and crawling robot. The robot is predominantly 3D printed and
