A 3D‐Printed Self‐Learning Three‐Linked‐Sphere Robot for Autonomous Confined‐Space Navigation

Abstract

Robots In article number http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/aisy.202100039, Yong Lin Kong and co‐workers present a 3D‐printed, compact robot integrated with reinforcement learning that performs adaptable, autonomous crawling in a confined environment. Without prior knowledge of the environment, the scalable robot can learn effective locomotory gaits that enable navigation through confined and dynamic environments, addressing a key challenge for robotic biomedical diagnosis.
