我们构建了两个机械蜗牛，Robosnail I和Robosnail 2，灵感来自活腹足动物的推进机制。 Hach使用不同的机械策略来移动一层粘稠的粘性流体。 Robosnail I使用柔性拍打板在粘稠的牛顿流体中产生润滑压力，进而推动蜗牛。 Robosnail 2使用可压缩的滑动板上的laponite，一种非牛顿的，有限的收益压力流体。
We have constructed two mechanical snails, Robosnail I and Robosnail 2, inspired by the propulsion mechanisms of live gastropods. Hach uses a different mechanical strategy to move on a thin layer of viscous fluid. Robosnail I uses a flexible flapping sheet to generate lubrication pressures in a viscous Newtonian fluid which in turn propels the snail. Robosnail 2 uses a compressible sliding sheet on a layer of Laponite, a non-Newtonian, finite-yield stress fluid.
