Towards a terramechanics for bio-inspired locomotion in granular environments
Chen Li, Yang Ding, Nick Gravish +6
Granular media (GM) present locomotor challenges for terrestrial and extraterrestrial devices because they can flow and solidify in response to localized intrusion of wheels, limbs…

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…

Sand swimming lizard: sandfish
Ryan D. Maladen, Yang Ding, Adam Kamor +1
We use high-speed x-ray imaging to reveal how a small (~10cm) desert dwelling lizard, the sandfish (Scincus scincus), swims within a granular medium [1]. On the surface, the lizard…
