The stator converts its thrust force and torque into longitudinal and meridian motions of the torus wheel, respectively, making the torus work as an omnidirectional wheel on a plane. Engineers at Georgia Tech are the first to study the mechanics of springtails, which leap in the water to avoid predators. Paper ] Thanks, Ayato!
