A Magneto-Active Elastomer Crawler with Peristaltic and Caterpillar Locomotion Patterns
In this work we present a soft crawler fabricated using a magneto-active elastomer. The crawler is controlled by an external magnetic field to produce two locomotion patterns: peristaltic and caterpillar crawling. Due to its structural simplicity, low mass, wirelessly controlled actuation and compli...
