Geometric Shortcuts for Complex Trunk Postures: Dual-Helicity Coupling Enables Low-Dimensional Control
Huishi Huang, Danlu Chen, Matteo Lo Preti +3
How do elephant trunks generate complex postures without relying solely on fine segmental activation? We propose that part of this complexity arises from a low-dimensional geometri…
Octopus-like Reaching Motion: A Perspective Inspired by Whipping
Shengyao Zhang, Yiyuan Zhang, Chenrui Zhang +5
The stereotypical reaching motion of the octopus arm has drawn growing attention for its efficient control of a highly deformable body. Previous studies suggest that its characteri…
Grasping by Spiraling: Reproducing Elephant Movements with Rigid-Soft Robot Synergy
Huishi Huang, Haozhe Wang, Chongyu Fang +8
The logarithmic spiral is observed as a common pattern in several living beings across kingdoms and species. Some examples include fern shoots, prehensile tails, and soft limbs lik…
Real-time Dynamics of Soft Manipulators with Cross-section Inflation: Application to the Octopus Muscular Hydrostat
Yuchen Sun, Anup Teejo Mathew, Imran Afgan +2
Inspired by the embodied intelligence of biological creatures like the octopus, the soft robotic arm utilizes its highly flexible structure to perform various tasks in the complex…
Octopus-Swimming-Like Robot with Soft Asymmetric Arms
Bobing Zhang, Yiyuan Zhang, Yiming Li +5
Underwater vehicles have seen significant development over the past seventy years. However, bio-inspired propulsion robots are still in their early stages and require greater inter…
