Crawling Soft Robots

Crawling Soft Robots is a subclass of soft locomotion robots that employs deformable, continuum bodies and bioinspired actuation mechanisms to achieve ground propulsion through crawling gaits, distinguished from other soft robots by its reliance on longitudinal or undulatory body-wall deformations for traction and movement in confined environments.
