The OmniTread can also drive over sand and rocks. It can pass through small holes and climb over tall obstacles.

• Use of pneumatic bellows for joint actuation. Bellows are powerful, naturally compliant, and take up minimal space.

• Maximal coverage of all sides of all segments with extra wide moving tracks.
• Unique pneumatic control method allows simultaneous proportional control of stiffness and joint angles.
• The "drive shaft spine" is powered by a single electric motor in the center segment. The spine runs through the center of all segments and provides torque to the all tracks.
