Locomotion via Active Suction in a Sea Star-Inspired Soft Robot

RA-L 2022

Some marine animals, such as sea stars, have developed versatile adhesive appendages that can be used for a variety of behaviors including sticking to surfaces, manipulating objects, and locomoting. These appendages couple reversible adhesion capabilities with muscular structures that can do work on

Morphing Structure for Changing Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Soft Underwater Walking Robot

RA-L 2019

Existing platforms for underwater exploration and inspection are often limited to traversing open water and must expend large amounts of energy to maintain a position in flow for long periods of time. Many benthic animals overcome these limitations using legged locomotion and have different hydrodyn
