Zusammenfassung:A novel tread design is described for the crawling robot TerminatorBot that allows side-slipping locomotion. This module creates a tread/limb hybrid robot capable of both forward locomotion and transverse locomotion. This paper focuses on the preliminary analysis of the rubber cantilever beams that result in nonisotropic behavior of the tread which we hope will allow enhanced capability in both forward and sideways motion.
