Abstract

This tutorial is about building up a COMSOL model for a robot ant. In this model, we have a robot with a size of a few centimeters and which is based on piezoelectric ceramics. This robot has already been built by the University of Michigan and some COMSOL models only for the legs’ operation are already existing and are published.
From what we know, the full ant robot had not been computationally simulated before. Here, we provide a tutorial on how to successfully achieve this task. Furthermore, we uploaded a video on YouTube to visualize the results: https://youtu.be/ePyD8TAQt3I
