A Labriform-Inspired Multi-Stable Soft Robotic Swimmer
RA-L 2026
Pectoral-fin-based (labriform) swimming combines high-speed propulsion with agile maneuverability through rigid-flexible fin partitioning. Inspired by this principle, we present a multi-stable soft robotic swimmer composed of two wedge-shaped bistable actuators integrated with fin-like rigid-flexibl
