Multigait soft robot

摘要: This manuscript describes a unique class of locomotive robot: A soft robot, composed exclusively materials (elastomeric polymers), which is inspired by animals (e.g., squid, starfish, worms) that do not have hard internal skeletons. Soft lithography was used to fabricate pneumatically actuated robot capable sophisticated locomotion fluid movement limbs and multiple gaits). quadrupedal; it uses no sensors, only five actuators, simple pneumatic valving system operates at low pressures (< 10 psi). combination crawling undulation gaits allowed this navigate difficult obstacle. demonstration illustrates an advantage robotics: They are systems in types actuation produce complex motion.
