In response to the urgent issues faced by current bionic undulating fin robot propulsion mechanisms, such as low working efficiency, insufficient swimming speed, ignoring thickness parameters, and the need for further improvement in biomimetic degree...
Mammal-inspired quadruped robots excel in traversing diverse terrestrial terrains but often lack aquatic mobility, limiting their effectiveness in amphibious environments. To address this challenge, an amphibious robotic dog (ARD) was developed, inte...
Revealing the evolved mechanisms that give rise to collective behavior is a central objective in the study of cellular and organismal systems. In addition, understanding the algorithmic basis of social interactions in a causal and quantitative way of...
This study presents a flexible aquatic swimming robot, which is a promising candidate for underwater search and detection missions. The robot is a living eel fitted with a wireless electronic backpack stimulator attached to its dorsal region. Leverag...
This study presents a new design for a multi-degree-of-freedom underdriven mechanism. The aim is to achieve efficient bionic motion of a sea turtle hydrofoil with multi-degrees-of-freedom using a single drive source. The design focuses on the kinemat...
Animals have to navigate complex environments and perform intricate swimming maneuvers in the real world. To conquer these challenges, animals evolved a variety of motion control strategies. While it is known that many factors contribute to motion co...
In biomimetic design, researchers recreate existing biological structures to form functional devices. For biohybrid robotic swimmers assembled with tissue engineering, this is problematic because most devices operate at different length scales than t...
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...
