The outstanding locomotor and manipulation characteristics of the octopus have recently inspired the development, by our group, of multi-functional robotic swimmers, featuring both manipulation and locomotion capabilities, which could be of significa...
The octopus is an interesting model for the development of soft robotics, due to its high deformability, dexterity and rich behavioural repertoire. To investigate the principles of octopus dexterity, we designed an eight-arm soft robot and evaluated ...
This paper presents mechatronic design and locomotion control of a biomimetic robotic fish that swims using thunniform kinematics for fast cruising. Propulsion of the robotic fish is realized with a parallel four-bar propulsive mechanism that deliver...

This paper develops an adaptive robust output feedback control scheme for dynamically positioned ships with unavailable velocities and unknown dynamic parameters in an unknown time-variant disturbance environment. The controller is designed by incorp...
We design and test an octopus-inspired flexible hull robot that demonstrates outstanding fast-starting performance. The robot is hyper-inflated with water, and then rapidly deflates to expel the fluid so as to power the escape maneuver. Using this ro...
In this paper, the motion dynamics of a large tanker is modeled by the generalized ellipsoidal function-based fuzzy neural network (GEBF-FNN). The reference model of tanker motion dynamics in the form of nonlinear difference equations is established ...
Accurate ship valuations are very important in ship sales and purchase (S&P) transactions and for marine insurance purposes. It is equally important to select an appropriate valuation methodology. Today, one of the methods is Machine Learning (ML) al...

Cruise ships are densely populated ecosystems where infectious diseases can spread rapidly. Hence, early detection of infected individuals and risk assessment (RA) of the disease transmissibility are critical. Recent studies have investigated the lon...
