“…Snakes achieve locomotion through the propagation of wave-like motions along their bodies. This unique locomotion mechanism allows them to move swiftly even in confined spaces, inspiring the design of robotic grippers [ 189 , 190 , 191 , 192 , 193 , 194 ]. A robot tongue design in [ 195 ] featured a metal-tape backbone enclosed in a PET tube, actuated by pneumatic pressure.…”

The autonomous manipulation of objects by robotic grippers has made significant strides in enhancing both human daily life and various industries. Within a brief span, a multitude of research endeavours and gripper designs have emerged, drawing inspiration primarily from biological mechanisms. It is within this context that our study takes centre stage, with the aim of conducting a meticulous review of bioinspired grippers. This exploration involved a nuanced classification framework encompassing a range of parameters, including operating principles, material compositions, actuation methods, design intricacies, fabrication techniques, and the multifaceted applications into which these grippers seamlessly integrate. Our comprehensive investigation unveiled gripper designs that brim with a depth of intricacy, rendering them indispensable across a spectrum of real-world scenarios. These bioinspired grippers with a predominant emphasis on animal-inspired solutions have become pivotal tools that not only mirror nature’s genius but also significantly enrich various domains through their versatility.

“…An approximate representation of the continuous structure is obtained by performing a series of homogeneous transformations on the discrete model. For example, the early snake bionic robots [8] and the hyper redundant robots [9] are based on rigid discrete linkage. Initially, this approach was used for continuum robots, but nowadays the more mainstream approaches are constant curvature theory and Cosserat rod theory.…”

Continuum robots offer good environmental adaptability and superior safety in human-robot interaction. This paper describes the state of the art in continuum robot modeling and summarizes and evaluates the mainstream continuum robot modeling approaches in the current community through three different classifications: continuum models, geometric models, and data-driven models. Finally, the paper provides a summary of existing research approaches and provides future research opportunities in continuum robot modeling.

“…Our main concern in this article will be the middle choice which considered to be theCarangiformswimmers,which are mostly faster than Anguilliform swimmers but have less agility due to the rigidity of their bodies,they have better agility than Thunniform swimmers [49]. Figure 1 shows the physical model of the Carangiform motion based on Lighthill's theory.…”

This article is devoted to the analysis of existing domestic and foreign designs of underwater robots. First of all, emphasis is placed on the description of structures and the analysis of their influence on the maneuverability of movement in a liquid. Various mechanisms of bringing underwater robots into motion are considered, approaches to modeling are described. A description and comparison of underwater mobile robots driven by screw propellers, depending on their number, location, and shape of the hull, is given, and the designs of robots implementing biosimilar motion in a liquid are considered in more detail. A comparison is made of the methods of movement in a liquid using screw propellers and with biosimilar or screwless methods of movement. An overview of the mechanisms used to form biosimilar movements is given, a description of the materials and properties of the hull characteristic of this type of underwater robots, as well as a description of the mechanism of movement in a liquid, taking into account resistance forces and buoyancy control. Particular attention is paid to the works devoted to the study of the shape of the tail of a fish-like robot, aimed at improving the efficiency of robot movement in liquid. The analysis made it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the mechanisms used to implement biosimilar motion in a liquid. Based on the results of the analytical review, the typical structure of the underwater robot and the requirements to its components are considered. In conclusion, the current technical and scientific challenges facing researchers working on the creation of underwater robots operating both in autonomous and remotely controlled modes are discussed.
