Spinal Helical Actuation Patterns for Locomotion in Soft Robots
RA-L 2020
Spinal-driven locomotion was first hypothesized to exist in biological systems in the 1980s. However, only recently has the concept been applied to legged robots. In implementing spinal-driven locomotion in robots to-date, researchers have focused on bending in the spine. In this article, we propose
