Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Phenomenology of Shape Memory Alloys

2015
The strong demand for high performance structural and mechanical systems for aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing industries has promoted the evolution of advanced materials. Materials cannot respond to changes of the surrounding environment and are not able to operate under the service conditions for which they are not optimally designed ...
