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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Front-Crawl Instantaneous Velocity Estimation Using a Wearable Inertial Measurement Unit

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Grégoire Millet, Florent Crettenand, Florent Crettenand

Monitoring the performance is a crucial task for elite sports during both training and competition. Velocity is the key parameter of performance in swimming, but swimming performance evaluation remains immature due to the complexities of measurements in wa ...

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 ...
