Modeling and control of a sperm-inspired robot with helical propulsion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Efficient propulsion has been a central focus of research in the field of biomimetic underwater vehicles. Compared to the prevalent fish-like reciprocating flapping propulsion mode, the sperm-like helical propulsion mode features higher efficiency an...

Multiorifice acoustic microrobot for boundary-free multimodal 3D swimming.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The emerging new generation of small-scaled acoustic microrobots is poised to expedite the adoption of microrobotics in biomedical research. Recent designs of these microrobots have enabled intricate bioinspired motions, paving the way for their real...

Simulating fish autonomous swimming behaviours using deep reinforcement learning based on Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The study of fish swimming behaviours and locomotion mechanisms holds significant scientific and engineering value. With the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, a new method combining deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with computational fl...

A bioinspired fish fin webbing for proprioceptive feedback.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The propulsive fins of ray-finned fish are used for large scale locomotion and fine maneuvering, yet also provide sensory feedback regarding hydrodynamic loading and the surrounding environment. This information is gathered via nerve cells in the web...

Research on the movement pattern and kinematic model of the hindlegs of the water boatman.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The special hindleg structure and swimming setae of a water boatman give it a high degree of maneuverability, which plays an important role in swimming. This paper used a high-speed photography platform to extract key points from videos, obtaining th...

A resonant quadruped piezoelectric robot inspired by human butterfly swimming patterns.

Ultrasonics
Piezoelectric micro-robots have gained considerable attention in rescue and medical applications due to their rapid response times and high positioning accuracy. In this paper, inspired by the human butterfly locomotion pattern, we propose a novel re...

Effects of maximum thickness position on hydrodynamic performance for fish-like swimmers.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
When designing the internals of robotic fish, variations in the internal arrangements of power and control systems cause differences in external morphological structures, particularly the positions of maximum thickness. These differences considerably...

Optimization of a passive roll absorber for robotic fish based on tune mass damper.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The robotic fish utilizes a bio-inspired undulatory propulsion system to achieve high swimming performance. However, significant roll motion has been observed at the head when the tail oscillates at certain frequencies, adversely affecting both perce...

Physical reservoir computing on a soft bio-inspired swimmer.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Bio-inspired Autonomous Underwater Vehicles with soft bodies provide significant performance benefits over conventional propeller-driven vehicles; however, it is difficult to control these vehicles due to their soft underactuated bodies. This study i...
