摘要

This paper investigates a novel minimalistic mechanism that ascends tubes. The mechanism is comprised of only a rigid body, two O-rings, and a motor rotating an eccentric mass. We describe the underlying locomotion principle of rocking and jamming, without the use of special bristles or spines, and demonstrate the robustness of this mechanism.
