Compared with rigid robots, soft robots have the advantages of inherent compliance, high adaptability, and impact tolerance. Many researchers are very interested in the motion design of soft robot underwater. In this paper, inspired by the method of octopus propulsion, a jet propulsion unit with 80% soft materials driven by pressure is designed. It can change the volume of its cavity to absorb and...
