Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the design and development of a biomimetic robot utilizing peristaltic locomotion as a method of movement. Inspired by nature, the robot addresses key limitations encountered in conventional robotic systems, such as imbalance affecting the center of mass and restricted adaptability to complex terrains. Integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables real-time data collection, contributing to enhanced performance and efficiency across diverse environments. The utilization of advanced 3D printing techniques facilitates rapid prototyping and customization of robot components. Experimental evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the biomimetic approach, highlighting its potential for applications in exploration, disaster response, and healthcare. Analysis of results informs future research directions, focusing on further optimization and integration of emerging technologies to advance robotic capabilities.
