The Hydrodynamics of a Micro-Rocket Propelled by a Deformable Bubble

François Gallaire, Lailai Zhu, Giacomo Gallino

We perform simulations to study the hydrodynamics of a conical-shaped swimming micro-robot that ejects catalytically produced bubbles from its inside. We underline the nontrivial dependency of the swimming velocity on the bubble deformability and on the ge ...

Controlling swimming and crawling in a fish robot using a central pattern generator

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi

Online trajectory generation for robots with multiple degrees of freedom is still a difficult and unsolved problem, in particular for non-steady state locomotion, that is, when the robot has to move in a complex environment with continuous variations of th ...

Online optimization of swimming and crawling in an amphibious snake robot

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi

An important problem in the control of locomotion of robots with multiple degrees of freedom (e.g., biomimetic robots) is to adapt the locomotor patterns to the properties of the environment. This article addresses this problem for the locomotion of an amp ...
