Abstract
Cost of Morphing
Adaptive morphogenesis enables robots to navigate diverse environments with enhanced efficiency. JART, an amphibious quadruped, uses laminar jamming with kirigami-cut layers to switch between load-bearing and hydrodynamic limb configurations. This approach reduces morphing energy by 98.5% compared to thermally driven systems, without compromising terrestrial or aquatic performance. The design advances energy-efficient, shape-morphing robotics for multidomain locomotion. More details can be found in the Research Article by Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio and co-workers (Doi: 10.1002/aisy.202401055).
