contents We present a locomotion mechanism that uses the stick-slip transition of a soft passive structure with an internal mechanical resonance. The structure is harmonically driven by a global vertical shaking and, because of its resonance dephasing and the threshold response of stick-slip transition, it can either move forward or backward. We establish a relation for the motion acceleration threshold that we experimentally validate. We identify a non-trivial regime close to the resonance with a velocity inversion for a constant excitation frequency and an increasing driving amplitude. We finally show that we can achieve a controlled multi-modal motion by combining multiple internal resonances.
