that can easily occur in nature but that can be better analyzed in a 3D extension
of the present work, which is left for future implementations.
Further steps will also include an analysis of the morphological evolution of
natural tendrils during support grasping. This analysis can facilitate the localization of sensory points, structural properties in terms of dimension, elasticity,
stiffness, and the relation between the occurring deformation and the area of
stimulus contact, time, and delays of deformation, for gaining new knowledge
and guide the development of design and behaviour in filiform, continuum bioinspired robots.
