Development of an amphibious robotic propulsor based on electroactive polymers

This paper presents the project of a robotic device for propulsion in aquatic environment. The propulsor is a biologically inspired system characterized by efficiency and flexibility for locomotion environment changing: the legs of anuran amphibious. These animals are exceptionally adapted to locomo...
