Biomimetic Centering Behavior for Undulatory Robots∗
Substantial work exists in the robotics literature on the mechanical design, modeling, gait generation and implementation of undulatory robotic prototypes. However, there appears to have been relatively limited work on closing the control loop, for such robotic locomotors, using sensory information from exteroceptive sensors, thus leading to more complex reactive undulatory behaviors. This pape...
متن کاملMeandering worms: mechanics of undulatory burrowing in muds.
Recent work has shown that muddy sediments are elastic solids through which animals extend burrows by fracture, whereas non-cohesive granular sands fluidize around some burrowers. These different mechanical responses are reflected in the morphologies and behaviours of their respective inhabitants. However, Armandia brevis, a mud-burrowing opheliid polychaete, lacks an expansible anterior consis...
متن کاملUndulatory Swimming Performance and Body Stiffness Modulation in a Soft Robotic Fish-Inspired Physical Model.
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 mechanics of swimming. However, it has not been possible to investigate how key parameters such as the extent of bilateral muscle activation affect propulsive performance due to the inability to manipulate muscle activat...
متن کاملModular Design and Control of an Underwater Biomimetic Vehicle-Manipulator System
This paper addresses the modular design of an underwater biomimetic vehicle-manipulator systems (UBVMS) propelled by undulatory fins. Motivated by the cuttlefish, which can perform flexible motions by undulatory propulsion in narrow spaces, our UBVMS with two undulatory fins is designed. The specific implementation of mechanical structure is detailed. In particular, the design philosophy of mod...
متن کاملState-resolved diffraction oscillations imaged for inelastic collisions of NO radicals with He, Ne and Ar.
Just as light scattering from an object results in diffraction patterns, the quantum mechanical nature of molecules can lead to the diffraction of matter waves during molecular collisions. This behaviour manifests itself as rapid oscillatory structures in measured differential cross-sections, and such observable features are sensitive probes of molecular interaction potentials. However, these s...
