M4 Morphobot
The M4 Morphobot is a multimodal mobile robot platform that switches among flying, ground driving, rolling, and crawling modes through a transformation mechanism. It was developed by research teams including those at Caltech.
Timeline (last 90 days)
M4 Morphobot (Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot) is a four-wheeled robot developed by a research team including Caltech that can switch among multiple locomotion modes such as flying, driving on the ground, rolling, and crawling through a morphing mechanism.
The M4 robot consumes about 3000W in flight mode and only about 30W in ground driving mode, a difference of about 100 times.
In the M4 design, the four wheels also serve as rotors in flight mode, while in ground mode the rotors fold and the wheels drive locomotion.
