This paper presents an amphibious snake-like robot’s design and its omnipotent locomotion ability both on the land and in the water. This amphibious snake-like robot, mainly composed by 9 modular universal units, is waterproof and can move smoothly in the water while pressurized with O-rings and other essential accessories. In this […]
Fritz Vollrath, Spider Silk/Web, Oxford University
In soft robotics, bio-inspiration ranges from hard- to software. Orb web spiders provide excellent examples for both. Adapted sensors on their legs may use morphological computing to fine-tune feedback loops that supervise the handling and accurate placement of silk threads. The spider’s webs embody the decision rules […]
