Autonomous Soft Robotic Fish Capable of Escape Maneuvers Using Fluidic Elastomer Actuators [PDF]
, 2014 In this work we describe an autonomous soft-bodied robot that is both self-contained and capable of rapid, continuum-body motion. We detail the design, modeling, fabrication, and control of the soft fish, focusing on enabling the robot to perform rapid ...
