Inertial measurement unit and biomechanical analysis of swimming: an update

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi

The biomechanical analysis of swimming always faced impeding factors of measurement in the aquatic environment. Our current knowledge of swimming locomotion is very much owing to employing video cameras to capture the body kinematics. Nevertheless, the rec ...

Salamandra Robotica II: An Amphibious Robot to Study Salamander-Like Swimming and Walking Gaits

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi, André Guignard, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

In this paper, we present Salamandra robotica II: an amphibious salamander robot that is able to walk and swim. The robot has four legs and an actuated spine that allow it to perform anguilliform swimming in water and walking on the ground. The paper first ...

Automatic Front-Crawl Temporal Phase Detection Using Adaptive Filtering of Inertial Signals

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Grégoire Millet, Florent Crettenand

This study introduces a novel approach for automatic temporal phase detection and inter-arm coordination estimation in front-crawl swimming using inertial measurement units (IMUs). We examined the validity of our method by comparison against a video-based ...

Enhanced N-nitrosamine formation in pool water by UV irradiation of chlorinated secondary amines in the presence of monochloramine

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee

N-Nitrosamines, in particular N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), are carcinogens, which occur as chlorine disinfection by-products (DBPs) in swimming pools and hot tubs. UV treatment is a commonly used technique in swimming pools for disinfection and DBP atten ...

A Flying Robot with Adaptive Morphology for Multi-Modal Locomotion

Dario Floreano, Ludovic Daler, Julien Jean Denis Nicolas Lecoeur

Most existing robots are designed to exploit only one single locomotion mode, such as rolling, walking, flying, swimming, or jumping, which limits their flexibility and adaptability to different environments where specific and different locomotion capabili ...

Magnetic helical micromachines: Fabrication, controlled swimming, and cargo transport

Lei Zhang

A simple and general fabrication method for helical swimming micromachines by direct laser writing and e-beam evaporation is demonstrated. The magnetic helical devices exhibit varying magnetic shape anisotropy, yet always generate corkscrew motion using a ...
