Earthworm‐Inspired Soft Skin Crawling Robot (Adv. Sci. 23/2024)
Source abstract
Abstract
Earthworm-Inspired Soft Robot Earthworms move by contracting their segmented muscles and protruding minute bristles on their skin. These bristles, known as setae, grasp the soil as the earthworm elongates and shortens its body. In article 2400012, Ahmad Rafsanjani and coworkers utilized multi-material silicone casting to create an earthworminspired soft robot with stretchable skin and stiff bristles and studied how bristle arrangements and densities affect locomotion speed.
