Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...
