Qian is advised by Daniel Goldman, and the paper discusses his work with the detailed locomotor mechanics of a small, lightweight robot (DynaRoACH, 10 cm, 25 g), revealing a mechanism by which small animals can achieve high performance on granular substrates, which also advances the design and control of small robots in deformable terrains.
