Underwater robot designs inspired by the behavior, physiology, and anatomy of fishes can
provide enhanced maneuverability, stealth, and energy efficiency. Over the last two …

The excellent swimming performances of live fish motivate scientists and engineers around
the world to study its swimming mechanism and develop fish-like underwater robots …

Biohybrid systems have been developed to better understand the design principles and
coordination mechanisms of biological systems. We consider whether two functional …

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 …

Tunas are flexible, high-performance open ocean swimmers that operate at high
frequencies to achieve high swimming speeds. Most fish-like robotic systems operate at low …

Robot manipulators are increasingly used in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). They are
required to have small size, wide workspace, adequate dexterity and payload ability when …

In the past two decades, a large number of robot fishes have been built, though their
performances are still far inferior compared with that of the real fish. One of the key reasons …

Undulatory motion of the body is the dominant mode of locomotion in fishes, and numerous
studies of body kinematics and muscle activity patterns have provided insights into the …

In this article, the underwater target tracking control problem of a biomimetic underwater
vehicle (BUV) is addressed. Since it is difficult to build an effective mathematic model of a …

Soft robotics can be used not only as a means of achieving novel, more lifelike forms of
locomotion, but also as a tool to understand complex biomechanics through the use of …
