Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explores how mantis shrimp and similar systems generate extremely fast, high-acceleration movements by using specialized linkage mechanisms that store and rapidly release elastic energy.
  • Researchers identified distinct dynamic phases and geometric latching in these linkages, which help control energy transfer and amplify mechanical power, allowing for rapid strikes in both biological and synthetic systems.
  • The findings are demonstrated through a small-scale mantis shrimp robot, showing velocities over 26 m/s in air and 5 m/s in water, illustrating how adjusting linkage design can optimize high-speed movements and provide insights into biological function.]
