Eel-Inspired Electrohydraulic Soft Swimmer With Programmable Undulatory Gaits

Undulatory locomotion in anguilliform swimmers motivates soft robots that are efficient and maneuverable. We present an eel-inspired soft swimmer actuated by liquid-dielectric electrohydraulic actuators (LDEAs) with programmable inter-segment phase for gait control. A resistive-force-theory (RFT) mo
