This article develops artificial life patterned after animals as evolved as those in the
superclass Pisces. It demonstrates a virtual marine world inhabited by realistic artificial …

Over the past 20 years, experimental analyses of the biomechanics of locomotion in fishes
have generated a number of key findings that are relevant to the construction of biomimetic …

This paper proposes a framework for animation that can achieve the intricacy of motion
evident in certain natural ecosystems with minimal input from the animator. The realistic …

Nature selection has made today's fish be beautiful swimmers with high efficiency and
perfect manoeuvre abilities. To realise fish-like propulsion and manoeuvring abilities by a …

We present a learning technique that automatically synthesizes realistic locomotion for the
animation of physics-based models of animals. The method is especially suitable for …

The bodies and brains of fish have evolved to achieve control objectives beyond the
capabilities of current underwater vehicles. One route toward designing underwater vehicles …

After nearly half a century of research, the Holy Grail of the? eld of art-cial intelligence (AI)
remains a comprehensive computational model capable of emulating the marvelous abilities …

We present a technical description of Creatures, a commercial home-entertainment software
package. Creatures provides a simulated environment in which exist a number of synthetic …

Classifications of fish swimming are reviewed as a prelude to discussing functional design
and performance in an ecological context. Webb (1984a, 1998) classified fishes based on …

Fish migrate across considerable distances and exhibit remarkable agility to avoid predators
and feed. Fish swimming performance and maneuverability remain unparalleled when …
