How does it go to through the ducts?

  1. by extending and contracting joints. It's pushing itself up against the walls that contain it.

  2. DucTT moves in an inchworm-like fashion along the length of ducts or tubes in any orientation, and can accurately negotiate the intersection of two or more ducts in a controlled, deliberate fashion.

    it uses pistons to push against the sides of the duct and hold itself within the duct

  4. It extends its upper body, and then contracts it creating upwards motion, similiar to that of a worm.

  6. it moves with a small number of actuators like an inchworm-motion.

  7. -It has two front "bars" that have grips on the ends. The front one retracts the grips, allowing to move the bar forward, then pushes the grips firmly against the side. The second bar then reacts its grips, catching up to the first bar. It then pushes its grips against the side, allowing the first bar to move again.

  8. It has two fulcrum, and it uses friction to stack on the duct, then it pulls its lower part back.
