Effects of Friction Anisotropy on Upward Burrowing Behavior of Soft Robots in Granular Materials

Skins with asymmetric kirigami scales and soft spikes are integrated to the surface of a base self‐burrowing robot, which consists of a soft one‐segment extending actuator. Friction anisotropy is observed at the interfaces between the burrowing robots and different granular materials. Its effects on...
