contents This paper introduces a novel underactuated geometric compliant (UGC) robot and investigates the behaviors of underactuated compliant modules with variable radial stiffness, aiming to enhance the versatility and functionality of UGC robots. We initiate the study by designing and fabricating various compliant semi-rigid geometric joints, each tailored to a specific design objective. These joints undergo physical testing to validate their stiffness characteristics and returnable angles as durability factors. Subsequently, we develop a mathematical model based on Gaussian process regression to incorporate the different geometric joint characteristics, including thickness, facilitating the development of fully functional prototypes with easy-to-3D print models. After analyzing individual joints, we present various configurational combinations to construct the overall UGC module for robotics applications. Our final prototype UGC can dynamically alter its radius, reducing to 80-85\% of its original value while maintaining structural integrity and operational efficiency. This study discusses potential abilities, challenges, and limitations associated with employing UGC modules, offering valuable insights for future research and developments in UGC robotics.
