Peristaltic locomotion of a worm-like mesh robot

The Chiel lab collaborates with engineers at the Center for Biologically Inspired Robotics Research at Case Western Reserve University to design novel worm-like robots that have potential applications in search-and-rescue missions, endoscopic medicine, or other scenarios requiring navigation through narrow spaces. Description and design of the robot are published here: Boxerbaum, A. S., Shaw, K. M., Chiel, H. J., & Quinn, R. D. (2012). Continuous wave peristaltic motion in a robot. The International Journ
