Design of mobile robots that can move without wheels or legs is an important engineering and technological problem. Self-propelling mechanisms that consist of a body that has contact with a rough surface and internal masses are considered. Asymmetry in friction that is necessary for the robot to move can be provided in several ways. First, the robot can be equipped with specific contact devises that provide anisotropy for the coefficient of friction, i. e., the coefficient of robot can be covered with needles. Second, this asymmetry can be provided for istropic friction by changing the normal pressure of the robot on supporting surface. A number of mathematical models of such systems are presented in the paper.

A new type of miniaturisable ferrofluid based locomotion system. - In: Sensor letters, ISSN 1546-1971, Bd. 7 (2009), 3, S. 351-355
The paper presents a ferrofluid based locomotion system. In the following the uniaxial translatory motion of a non-magnetic object situated on the ferrofluid surface is pointed out. To move the object due to the periodic change of the ferrofluid pressure, the system is enclosed by a locally fixed magnetic field.

Finite degree-of-freedom models for animal vibrissae. - In: Proceedings, ISBN 978-963-311-369-1, (2009), S. 2500-2505
The reception of vibrations is a special sense of touch, important for many insects and vertebrata. Tha latter realize this reception by means of hair-shaped vibrissae. Disregarding different types of such sensors we set up a principal mechanical model to describe their modes of operation (passive and active vibrissae). Biologically, the oxcillation excitations are transmitted to receptor cells which adjust their sensitivity in such a way that, despite a permanent exitation, the reseptor system tends to its rest position. Consequently, the model system has to allow for stabilizing control while nevertheless being able to detect superimposed solitary excitations. The controller has to be adaptive in view of both the randomness of the external signal to be suppressed and the uncertainty of the system data. The paper presents a mechanical model and an improved adaptive control strategy that avoids identification but renders the system sensitive in the above mentioned sense.
