Soft Walking

Soft Walking is a soft locomotion method that enables controlled, adaptive bipedal or multi-legged movement in deformable robots through compliant actuation and embedded sensing, distinguishing it from rigid or quasi-static locomotion strategies by prioritizing continuous shape adaptation and energy-efficient, dynamic interaction with unstructured environments.
