Research on fish locomotion has expanded greatly in recent years as new approaches have
been brought to bear on a classical field of study. Detailed analyses of patterns of body and …

One of the emerging themes of fish-inspired robotics is flexibility. Adding flexibility to the
body, joints, or fins of fish-inspired robots can significantly improve thrust and/or efficiency …

Fish maintain high swimming efficiencies over a wide range of speeds. A key to this
achievement is their flexibility, yet even flexible robotic fish trail real fish in terms of …

仿生机器人是指依据仿生学原理, 模仿生物结构, 运动特性等设计的性能优越的机电系统,
已逐渐在反恐防爆, 太空探索, 抢险救灾等不适合由人来承担任务的环境中凸显出良好的应用 …

Tuna and related scombrid fishes are high-performance swimmers that often operate at high
frequencies, especially during behaviors such as escaping from predators or catching prey …

We designed a robotic fish caudal fin with six individually moveable fin rays based on the tail
of the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus. Previous fish robotic tail designs have loosely …

To adapt to constantly changing environments and be safe for human interaction, robots
should have compliant and soft characteristics as well as the ability to sense the world …

Animal propulsors such as wings and fins bend during motion and these bending patterns
are believed to contribute to the high efficiency of animal movements compared with those of …

Monitoring fish migration, which can extend over distances of thousands of kilometers, via
fish tags is important to maintain healthy fish stocks and preserve biodiversity. One …

The compliance and conformability of soft robots provide inherent advantages when working
around delicate objects or in unstructured environments. However, rapid locomotion in soft …
