- Tunable stiffness in fish robotics: mechanisms and advantages 29. December 2021One of the emerging themes of fish-inspired robotics is flexibility. Adding flexibility to the body, joints, or fins of fish-inspired robots can significantly improve thrust and/or efficiency during locomotion. However, the optimal stiffness depends on variables such as swimming speed, so there is no one ‘best’ stiffness that maximizes efficiency in all conditions. Fish are […]Daniel Quinn and George Lauder
- What is an artificial muscle? A comparison of soft actuators to biological muscles 23. December 2021Interest in emulating the properties of biological muscles that allow for fast adaptability and control in unstructured environments has motivated researchers to develop new soft actuators, often referred to as ‘artificial muscles’. The field of soft robotics is evolving rapidly as new soft actuator designs are published every year. In parallel, recent studies have also […]Diego R Higueras-Ruiz, Kiisa Nishikawa, Heidi Feigenbaum and Michael Shafer
