| Summary:
Some animals exhibit multi-modal locomotion capability to traverse a wide
range of terrains and environments, such as amphibians that can swim and walk
or birds that can fly and walk. This capability is extremely beneficial for
expanding the animal’s habitat range and they can choose the most energy
efficient mode of locomotion in a given environment. The robotic biomimicry of
this multi-modal locomotion capability can be very challenging but offer the
same advantages. However, the expanded range of locomotion also increases the
complexity of performing localization and path planning. In this work, we
present our morphing multi-modal robot, which is capable of ground and aerial
locomotion, and the implementation of readily available SLAM and path planning
solutions to navigate a complex indoor environment.
