Self-propulsion via slipping: frictional swimming in multi-legged locomotors
Baxi Chong, Juntao He, Shengkai Li +5
Locomotion is typically studied either in continuous media where bodies and legs experience forces generated by the flowing medium, or on solid substrates dominated by friction. In…
Gliders in shape-changing active matter
Akash Vardhan, Ram Avinery, Hridesh Kedia +3
We report in experiment and simulation the spontaneous formation of dynamically bound pairs of shape changing smarticle robots undergoing locally repulsive collisions. Borrowing te…
A robophysical model of spacetime dynamics
Shengkai Li, Hussain N. Gynai, Steven Tarr +4
Systems consisting of spheres rolling on elastic membranes have been used to introduce a core conceptual idea of General Relativity (GR): how curvature guides the movement of matte…
Locomotion without force, and impulse via dissipation: Robotic swimming in curved space via geometric phase
Shengkai Li, Tianyu Wang, Velin H. Kojouharov +5
Locomotion by shape changes (spermatozoon swimming, snake slithering, bird flapping) or gas expulsion (rocket firing) is assumed to require environmental interaction, due to conser…
