Annelid-inspired high-elongation origami robot using partial material removal.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Existing soft robots face challenges given the need for an improved flexible robot elongation rate, bending angle and movement flexibility in space target acquisition, disaster search and rescue, unknown environment detection and other fields. Yoshim...

Development of an annelid-like peristaltic crawling soft robot using dielectric elastomer actuators.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The annelid, which consists of several identical segments, exploits its soft structures to move effectively in complex natural environments. Elongation and shortening of different segments produce a reverse peristaltic wave while retractable setae ge...

Bio-inspired annelid robot: a dielectric elastomer actuated soft robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Biologically inspired robots with inherent softness and body compliance increasingly attract attention in the field of robotics. Aimed at solving existing problems with soft robots, regarding actuation technology and biological principles, this paper...

Phase coordination and phase-velocity relationship in metameric robot locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This research proposes a new approach for the control of metameric robot locomotion via phase coordination. Unlike previous studies where global wave-like rules were pre-specified to construct the actuation sequence of segments, this phase coordinati...

Collective dynamics in entangled worm and robot blobs.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Living systems at all scales aggregate in large numbers for a variety of functions including mating, predation, and survival. The majority of such systems consist of unconnected individuals that collectively flock, school, or swarm. However, some agg...
