Curvilinear kirigami skins let soft bending actuators slither faster

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Curvilinear Kirigami Skins Let and colleagues from the Collaborative and Intelligent Systems Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, United States, Sandia National have published the article: Curvilinear Kirigami Skins Let Soft Bending Actuators Slither Faster, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The work improves the locomotion of a soft snake robot by implementing an enhanced kirigami pattern that increases the lateral-cranial friction ratio on a snake-inspired skin.
  • how: The authors hypothesized that scales approaching the fully lateral orientation would maximize locomotion efficacy of slithering even at the cost of reduced caudal . . .
