Abstract

Climbing plants represent an outstanding example of a grasping strategy coming from the plant Kingdom. Tendrils are the filiform organs devoted to the task and are extremely flexible and sensitive to touch. In this preliminary contribution we present some of the observed key features of tendrils. Then a robotic approach is exploited to describe and simulate a bio-inspired robotic tendril from a kinematic point of view.
