Fishes have learned how to achieve outstanding swimming performance through the
evolution of hundreds of millions of years, which can provide bio-inspiration for robotic fish …

Natural selection has tuned many flying and swimming animals to share the same narrow
design space for high power efficiency, eg, their dimensionless Strouhal numbers St that …

Undulatory swimming is the predominant form of locomotion in aquatic vertebrates. A myriad
of animals of different species and sizes oscillate their bodies to propel themselves in …

While moving, animals must frequently make decisions about their future travel direction,
whether they are alone or in a group. Here we investigate this process for zebrafish (Danio …

Undulations are ubiquitous in natural swimmer propulsion, propelling in omni-direction. In
the present work, the hydrodynamic performance of an unconstrained carangiform swimmer …

Coordinated motion in animal groups has predominantly been studied with a focus on
spatial interactions, such as how individuals position and orient themselves relative to one …

We provide a critique of mathematical biology in light of rapid developments in modern
machine learning. We argue that out of the three modelling activities—(1) formulating …

Intermittent swimming and schooling individually offer the possibility of energy economy for
fish. To study the role of the simultaneous use of both behaviors, the intermittent swimming …

It has been a long-standing problem how schooling fish optimize their motion by exploiting
the vortices shed by the others. A recent experimental study showed that a pair of fish …

Burst-and-coast swimming is an intermittent mode of locomotion used by various fish
species. The intermittent gait has been associated with certain advantages such as …
