OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000002084 Worm-like soft crawling robot driven by exergonic chemical reaction Published: 2026-09-15T19:10:42.102513Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002084 Categories: Robotics & Automation > Robot Architectures ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A worm-like soft crawling robot driven by an exergonic chemical reaction, including a body system, an exothermic reaction system and a vacuum system. The body system includes a left head shell, a left flexible body shell, a left reaction chamber, a right reaction chamber, a right flexible body shell and a right head shell. Elastic transmission parts are installed in the flexible body shells in a matched way. The exothermic reaction system includes chemical fuel storage units and exothermic reaction stimulation devices. The vacuum system includes vacuum suction cups, vacuum exhaust tubes and vacuum pumps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000002084 Published 2026-09-15T19:10:42.102513Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002084
