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

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...
