A soft body under-actuated approach to multi degree of freedom biomimetic robots: A stingray example

In this paper we present a new application of the methodology our group is developing to design and prototype under-actuated biomimetic robots by determining appropriate body material property distributions. When excited, flexible bodies with proper anisotropic material distributions display modes o...
