Geometric Gait Design for a Starfish‐Inspired Robot Using a Planar Discrete Elastic Rod Model

A starfish‐inspired robotic platform consisting of multiple soft fluidic bending actuator arms arranged with radial symmetry about a rigid hub is described. Intrinsic properties of the soft actuators are estimated via computer vision for varying input fluid pressures. The dynamic motion of individua...
