Undulating Fin Propulsion

Undulating Fin Propulsion is a soft locomotion mechanism that generates thrust through the propagation of wave-like deformations along a flexible fin, distinguishing itself from other propulsive methods by its reliance on continuous, traveling bending motions rather than rigid-body actuation or discrete flapping.
