Design and hydrodynamic analysis of controllable soft-body extension-driven flippers inspired by swimming frog flippers

Flippers are key tissues through which frogs swim in water, and their spreading and contracting state directly affects their ability to move while driving their hind limbs. First, inspired by movement mechanism of frog flippers, a controllable soft-body extension-driven frog-like flipper mechanism w...
