DOI: 10.1089/soro.2022.0004
Abstract: Crawling animals with bendable soft bodies use the friction anisotropy of their asymmetric body structures to traverse various substrates efficiently. Although the effect of friction anisotropy has been investigated and applied to robot locomotion, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tmech.2020.2988049
Abstract: While soft/partially soft-bodied robots have extensive applications, robust actuation system, efficient locomotion gait, and simple manufacture process are the main challenging problems. To address these challenges, this article proposes a novel magnetorheological fluid (MRF)-filled soft… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09544062251335794
Abstract: A cable-driven soft crawling robot inspired by inchworm locomotion, utilising three motors to achieve an ‘Ω’ crawling motion, is proposed. Finite element analysis and quasi-static cable-driven tests were conducted to examine the deformations of the… read more here.
