Efficient sliding locomotion of three-link bodies
Silas Alben
We study the efficiency of sliding locomotion for three-link bodies in the presence of dry (Coulomb) friction. Friction coefficient space can be partitioned into several regions, e…

Intermittent sliding locomotion of a two-link body
Silas Alben, Connor Puritz
We study the possibility of efficient intermittent locomotion for two-link bodies that slide by changing their interlink angle periodically in time. We find that the anisotropy rat…
