Bioinspired Soft Actuators for High Bending Stiffness and Flexible Spatial Locomotion

Jiawei Xiong, Yuchao Luo, Feng Guan, Xiaowen Zhao, Yi Zeng, Guowu Wei +2

RA-L 2024

Soft pneumatic actuators often struggle to achieve both a high degree of freedom and high bending stiffness simultaneously. In this letter, we present a bionic soft pneumatic actuator inspired by the intricate musculature of the elephant trunk, which employs a dual actuation mode of transverse-longi

Tunable Stiffness Caudal Peduncle Leads to Higher Swimming Speed Without Extra Energy

Sijia Liu, Chunbao Liu, Yunhong Liang, Luquan Ren, Lei Ren

RA-L 2023

Tuning body stiffness like fish to improve swimming efficiency and speed has been adopted by many fish-inspired robotics. However, it is unknown whether the energy saved from improved efficiency can compensate for the energy consumption brought by tuning stiffness itself. To explore this issue, we d
