Kinematic and Electromyographic Changes During 200 m Front Crawl at Race Pace [PDF]
, 2012 The purpose of this study was to analyse eventual kinematic and electromyographic changes during a maximal 200 m front crawl at race pace. 10 male international level swimmers performed a 200 m maximal front crawl test.

Ultra-fast escape maneuver of an octopus-inspired robot [PDF]
, 2014 We design and test an octopus-inspired flexible hull robot that demonstrates outstanding fast-starting performance. The robot is hyper-inflated with water, and then rapidly deflates to expel the fluid so as to power the escape maneuver.

Modeling and propulsion methods of underwater snake robots [PDF]
2017 IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA), 2017 In this paper we consider underwater snake robots (USRs) that may be equipped with additional added effectors along their body, including caudal, dorsal and pectoral fins, tunnel thrusters and/or a stern propeller. We propose a mathematical model for USRs swimming in a 2D plane, which includes the extra propulsion forces acting on each link from the ...

A novel propulsion method of flexible underwater robots [PDF]
2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2011 This paper presents aims at mobility improvement of flexible underwater robots. For this purpose, a novel propulsion method using planar structural vibration pattern is proposed, and tested on two kinds of prototypes. The result of experiments showed the possibility of the movements for multiple directions: forward, backward, turn, rotation, drift, and

Design and Experiments with a Low-Cost Single-Motor Modular Aquatic Robot
, 2020 We present a novel design for a low-cost robotic boat powered by a single actuator, useful for both modular and swarming applications. The boat uses the conservation of angular momentum and passive flippers to convert the motion of a single motor into an
