Abstract: Inspired by dynamic similarity in fluid systems, we have derived a general dimensionless form for locomotion in granular materials, which is validated in experiments and discrete element method (DEM) simulations. The form instructs how to… read more here.

Abstract: Soft-bodied organisms such as annelids may exploit body compliance using their hydrostatic skeletons and muscles to burrow in granular substrates. In this letter, we investigate the design of soft digging robots inspired by the bristled… read more here.
