To investigate the influence of driving pattern of the modular soft robot on the oneway advancement
a six-module soft crawling robot is designed and the multi-mode motions are discussed. The six-module soft crawling robot is designed by connecting differential drive modules in serial which can move forward by transmitting traveling waves on the body. Analy-ing the relationship between the force state of inflating or deflating modules and their position interval during crawling process
the position interval model is obtained
which meets the necessary condition of one-way advancement
where the module gains advancement as inflating and the movement is transmitted forward as deflating. And 10 feasible motion modes are elicited by consulting the model. The Lagrangian dynamics model is established by taking advantage of lumped mass method
and the feasibility of the motion modes is verified by simulation in ADAMS. The feasible motion modes of the robot are verified by experiments and the
