Abstract
Razor acis lives in the low tidal area of the inner bay and thrives in the area with mild infiltration of fresh water. It uses its rhythmic contraction and foot burp and its unique anatomy to make holes. The extraordinary ability of razor clams to effectively penetrate the sediment has inspired innovation in the design of underwater drilling robots. Underwater drilling robots are currently widely used in the industrial world, such as underwater geological exploration, underwater shipwreck exploration, etc. However, the existing models of these robots mainly have a rigid structural design, which limits the flexibility of their drilling components, while their rough appearance also hinders their drilling efficiency. In response to these limitations, this paper proposes a robot with a soft, flexible body, and other enhanced functions designed to simulate a soft razor clam, replicate its peristaltic motion, minimize surface friction, and thus achieve superior drilling capability. This paper focuses on the development of software, segmented structure design, and studies designed to reduce surface friction and explore the mechanism of biomimetic motion.
