A review on locomotion robophysics: the study of movement at the intersection of robotics, soft matter and dynamical systems
Jeffrey Aguilar, Tingnan Zhang, Feifei Qian +11
In this review we argue for the creation of a physics of moving systems -- a locomotion "robophysics" -- which we define as the pursuit of the discovery of principles of self gener…
