In BEAM robotics, a Slider is a robot that has a mode of locomotion by moving body parts smoothly along a surface while remaining in contact with it.

Genera
  • Snakes : Driven mode of locomotion in a horizontal wave motion.
  • Earthworms : Driven mode of locomotion in a compressive longitudinal wave motion


gollark: Plus fast breeder reactors.
gollark: Indeed. There's not *that much* of it.
gollark: Politicians are somewhat bad, but if people weren't blindly anti-nuclear we probably would end up with more nuclear power.
