The Optimal Locomotion of a Self-Propelled Worm Actuated by Two Square Waves

Worm-like locomotion at small scales induced by propagating a series of extensive or contraction waves has exhibited enormous possibilities in reproducing artificial mobile soft robotics. However, the optimal relation between locomotion performance and some important parameters, such as the distance...
