Tensegrity mobile robots have merits of high stiff-to-mass ratio and superior structural compliance, making them a hot research topic recently. In this work, a novel modular tensegrity mobile robot with multi-locomotion modes is proposed. Unlike the existing conventional tensegrity robots, the robot in this work has abundant deformation ability, and can achieve four locomotion modes in terms of earthworm-like, inchworm-like, tumbling and hybrid locomotion. Afterwards, motion planning of the four locomotion modes based on the kinematic model is implemented, and the driving law of the motors under each locomotion mode can be obtained. A prototype of the robot is developed, and experimental results show that the robot can effectively adjust to five types of terrains by the four locomotion modes (maximum velocity on flat ground 33.90 BL/min, minimum height of confined space 1.18 BH, maximum angle of slope 9°, maximum height of obstacle 0.55 BH and maximum width of gap 0.21 BL. BL and BH represent the body length and body height of the robot, respectively). This work provides a useful reference for the application of tensegrity structures in the field of multi-locomotion mobile robot.
