Salamanders propel themselves by proper coordination of limb movements and body undulations. This type of locomotion is interesting for robotics to design robots capable of locomotion on water and land. In this work we identify the control and structural parameters that contribute to forward terrestrial locomotion. We introduce a kinematic model of Salamandra robotica II, a new salamander robot, to...
Robotic prototypes for search and rescue operations tend to imitate crawling and swimming organisms such as snakes, salamanders, worms, and eels. The Chlorochlamys Chloroleucaria larvae move themselves by a unique form of loop-like body changes stabilized by their subterminal grasping tools; we call this kind of motion loop-like locomotion. By combining undulatory locomotion with loop-like locomotion,...
The polychaete annelid marine worms propel themselves in a variety of challenging locomotion environments by a unique form of tail-to-head body undulations, combined with the synchronized action of numerous parapodial lateral appendages. This combined parapodial and undulatory mode of locomotion is termed pedundulatory in the present work. Robotic analogues of this type of locomotion are being studied,...
