|---|---|---|
A swimming robot driven by the deformation of a sheet-like body was developed, inspired by polyclad flatworms. The robot consists of a soft oval rubber sheet and three motors. Two motors operate the lateral flaps, and the third operates the body axis. The robot showed a variety of speeds and swimming patterns depending on parameter values such as the frequency and amplitude of flapping. We found that the robot moved at essentially the same speed with different swimming patterns. |
