Steering strategies for wasp inspired self propelled needles
Abstract Positioning a thin needle into a solid substrate near a target region is difficult because the needle can easily bend and buckle. Nevertheless, in nature, female parasitic wasps can do this by using buckling prevention and steering mechanisms. This study presents a self-propelled needle tha...
