Biomechanics The snap traps of the (in)famous carnivorous Venus flytrap ( Dionaea muscipula ) exhibit different snapping and reopening mechanics during their hunting cycle. The intrinsic biomechanics underlying leaf movement in these plants serve as promising concept generators for the development of versatile biomimetic compliant systems for e.g., soft robotics.
