A single torus wheel is made of an elastic elongated coil spring in which the two ends of the coil connected each other and is driven by a piezoelectric actuator (stator) that can generate 2-degrees-of-freedom (axial and angular) motions. We propose a palm-sized omnidirectional mobile robot with two torus wheels. Paper ] Thanks, Ayato!
