Bio-inspired robots are devices that mimic an animal's motions and structures in nature. Worm robots are robots that are inspired by the movements of the worm in nature. This robot has different applications such as medicine and rescue plans. However, control of the worm robot is a challenging task due to the high-nonlinearity dynamic model and external noises that are applied to that robot. This research uses an optimal data-driven controller to control the worm robot. First, data are obtained from the nonlinear model of the worm robot. Then, the Koopman theory is used to generate a linear dynamic model of the Worm robot. The dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) method is used to generate the Koopman operator. Finally, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control method is applied for the control of the worm robot. The simulation results verify the performance of the proposed control method.

The adaptable, modular structure of muscles, combined with their confluent energy storage allows for numerous architectures found in nature: trunks, tongues, and tentacles to name some more complex ones. To provide an artificial analog to this biological soft muscle, a self-powered, soft hydrostat actuator is presented. As an example of how to use these modules, a worm robot is assembled where the near totality of the body stores electrochemical potential.

Worms are organisms characterized by simple structures, low energy consumption, and stable movement. Inspired by these characteristics, worm-like soft robots demonstrate exceptional adaptability to unstructured environments, attracting considerable interest in the field of biomimetic engineering. The primary challenge currently involves improving the motion performance of worm-like robots from the perspectives of actuation and anchoring.

The body structures and motion stability of worm-like and snake-like robots have garnered significant research interest. Recently, innovative serial-parallel hybrid segmented robots have emerged as a fundamental platform for a wide range of motion modes. To address the hyper-redundancy characteristics of these hybrid structures, we propose a novel caterpillar-inspired Stable Segment Update (SSU) gait generation approach, establishing a unified framework for multi-segment robot gait generation.

Article Synopsis
- Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) serve as inspiration for creating 'inch-worm' robots that utilize biomimicry and can adapt to various environments, including natural and extraterrestrial settings.
- A new mathematical method called Multi-Body Dynamics for Inching-Locomotion Caterpillar Robots (MBD-ILAR) is introduced to simulate the movement of these robots and includes calculations for factors like kinematics and dynamics, focusing on specific robot design aspects.
- A case study was conducted to apply this method, which involved developing a graphical user interface to optimize robot actuator choices and validate the simulation results by analyzing how different parameters influence attachment forces and mechanical performance.
