Robotic systems for environmental monitoring and ecological surveying in wetlands and swamps must operate across diverse terrestrial and aquatic conditions. Conventional fixed-geometry wheels cannot adapt their contact geometry to these varying conditions. This work presents MOSS (Multimodal Origami Swamp Robot System), a compact amphibious robotic platform with 3D-printed origami wheels. The compact crank mechanism switches the wheel between contracted and expanded configurations, changing its width, body diameter, and fin orientation simultaneously. The contracted configuration is better…
