Curvilinear Kirigami Skins Let Soft Bending Actuators Slither Faster

Curvilinear Kirigami Skins Let Soft Bending Actuators Slither Faster

The locomotion of soft snake robots is dependent on frictional interactions with the environment. Frictional anisotropy is a morphological characteristic of snakeskin that allows snakes to engage selectively with surfaces and generate propulsive forces. The prototypical slithering gait of most snake...
