SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDUCING MOTION IN A ROLLING ROBOT USING A DUAL TELESCOPING LINEAR ACTUATOR

An embodiment is developed for a cylindrically shaped, elliptical rolling robot that has the ability to morph its outer surface as it rolls. The morphing actuation alters lengths of the major and minor axes, resulting in a torque imbalance that rolls the robot along faster or brakes its motion.
