Enhancing undulation of soft robots in granular media: A numerical and experimental study on the effect of anisotropic scales
Generating efficient locomotion in granular media is important, although it is difficult for robots. Inspired by the fact that sand vipers usually have saw-like scales, in this study, we design a soft undulation robot with tangential anisotropic friction to enhance the undulation performance of soft...
