A vacuum-actuated soft robot inspired by Drosophila larvae to study kinetics of crawling behaviour.

Peristalsis, a motion generated by the propagation of muscular contraction along the body axis, is one of the most common locomotion patterns in limbless animals. While the kinematics of peristalsis has been examined intensively, its kinetics remains unclear, partially due to the lack of suitable ph...
