Curvilinear Kirigami Skins Let Soft Bending Actuators Slither Faster
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 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 ...
