Abstract
Abstract This paper introduces a minimalistic design of a monopedal robot (monobot) with C-shaped legs which can achieve multiple locomotion modes (multi-mode) such as walking, leaping, as well as backward and forward flipping. The monobot contains an actuator, speed controller, 3D-printed base frame and legs, and battery set. The weight of the whole robot is less than 80 g. Dimensional parameters are optimized to simplify the design process and to identify effective factors for locomotion. Potential locomotion modes of the robot are analyzed by dynamics simulation. A simplified virtual prototype is tested within the multibody simulation software. An experimental platform of the monobot is also developed. The speed of the platform is adjusted to verify the correspondence between the actuator speed and locomotion mode as obtained by simulation. Potential applications of the multi-mode monobot include disaster rescue, planet exploration, and reconnaissance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
