Anguilliform swimmers are long and narrow animals that propel themselves by undulating
their bodies. Observations in nature and recent investigations suggest that anguilliform …

Energy harvesting from flow induced vibrations (FIV) in flexible bodies offer opportunities for
power generation in biomimicking robotic devices and is an active area of research. The …

Fish locomotion emerges from diverse interactions among deformable structures,
surrounding fluids and neuromuscular activations, ie fluid–structure interactions (FSI) …

This paper explores online stiffness modulation within a single tail stroke for swimming soft
robots. Despite advances in stiffening mechanisms, little attention has been given to …

With different shapes and material properties, fish all achieve undulatory swimming gait
under the action of internal active muscle stimulation and external fluid forces. Such …

The flexible and stretchable self-powered sensors are widely applied to the Internet of
Things (IoT), human motion monitoring, and human-robot interaction (HRI), and it reveals …

A bionic robotic fish based on compliant structure can excite the natural modes of vibration,
thereby mimicking the body waves of real fish to generate thrust and realize undulate …

Soft robots-due to their intrinsic flexibility of the body-can adaptively navigate unstructured
environments. One of the most popular locomotion gaits that has been implemented in soft …

This study introduces a novel neuromechanical model employing a detailed spiking neural
network to explore the role of axial proprioceptive sensory feedback, namely stretch …

Optimization of robot structures and control schemes remains challenging despite advances
in computing and rapid prototyping technology. Nature provides numerous examples of …
