Peristaltic Waves as Optimal Gaits in Metameric Bio-Inspired Robots
Peristalsis, i.e., a motion pattern arising from the propagation of muscle contraction and expansion waves along the body, is a common locomotion strategy for limbless animals. Mimicking peristalsis in bio-inspired robots has attracted considerable attention in the literature. It has recently been…

A bi-directional low-Reynolds-number swimmer with passive elastic arms
It has been recently shown that it is possible to design simple artificial swimmers at low Reynolds number that possess only one degree of freedom and, nevertheless, can overcome Purcell’s celebrated scallop theorem. One of the few examples is given by Montino and DeSimone, Eur. Phys. J. E, vol…
