Hard‐magnetic soft active materials (hmSAMs), embedding hard‐magnetic particles in soft
polymeric matrices, have attracted a great number of research interests due to their fast …

In the present paper, a dynamic analysis is presented, comparing three snake-like robot
gaits: lateral undulation, sidewinding locomotion, and sinus-lifting motion. To simplify …

Multilegged locomotion improves the mobility of terrestrial animals and artifacts. Using many
legs has advantages, such as the ability to avoid falling and to tolerate leg malfunction …

Legged robots have excellent terrestrial mobility for traversing diverse environments and,
thus, have the potential to be deployed in a wide variety of scenarios. However, they are …

To make the snake robot crawl quickly along the high-voltage cable, this paper employs the
Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SAA) to find the optimal step size for the spiral-winding gait …
