Design and development of the efficient anguilliform swimming robot- MAR

Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert, Mohammadreza Bayat

Propulsion of swimming robots at the surface and underwater is largely dominated by rotary propellers due to high thrust, but at the cost of low efficiency. Due to their inherently high speed turning motion, sharp propeller blades and generated noise, they ...
