DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaz6912
Abstract: Bistable spined soft robots enable high-speed cheetah-like galloping and fast-speed swimming, as well as high-force manipulation. Soft machines typically exhibit slow locomotion speed and low manipulation strength because of intrinsic limitations of soft materials. Here,… read more here.
