Abstract

Fin Kinematics Pablo Valdivia y Alvarado and coworkers propose a novel approach to design and fabricate soft composite structures for soft robots that allows precise tailoring of the robot's mechanical properties in article 2100361. The approach is implemented in a stingray-like robot to enable bespoke fin kinematics which in turn enable superior swimming performance when compared with traditional, cast prototypes.
