A robotic crawler exploiting directional frictional interactions: experiments, numerics, and derivation of a reduced model
Giovanni Noselli, Antonio DeSimone
We present experimental and numerical results for a model crawler which is able to extract net positional changes from reciprocal shape changes, i.e. 'breathing-like' deformations,…

Crawling on directional surfaces
Paolo Gidoni, Giovanni Noselli, Antonio DeSimone
In this paper we study crawling locomotion based on directional frictional interactions, namely, frictional forces that are sensitive to the sign of the sliding velocity. Surface i…
