The design exploits the use of mechanical standing waves generated on the metal beam and transmitted to its legs to propel the LPMR forward and backward where the vibrations of legs are similar to the bounding gait locomotion of animals. In our proposed design, a forward and backward motion in one dimensional axis is determined by the mechanical design and placement of the legs of the LPMR, and two operating frequencies for both directions are selected by the designer as well. By simple change in the driving frequency, both forward and backward motion can be achieved.
