Optimizing Snake Locomotion on a Plane: A Variational and Analytical Framework for Friction and Normal Force Modulation
… and speed for elongated bodies interacting with frictional substrates. By assuming steady, periodic deformations and utilizing resistive force theory (RFT), we derive variational optimization conditions for minimizing the mechanical cost of transport (mCoT) and maximizing forward displacement. …
