Monitoring fish migration, which can extend over distances of thousands of kilometers, via
fish tags is important to maintain healthy fish stocks and preserve biodiversity. One …

Understanding fish migratory patterns and movements often relies on tags that are externally
or internally implanted. Energy harvesting from fish swimming may benefit the state of the art …

This paper presents the conceptual design, preliminary experimental validation, and
performance evaluation of a novel bio-inspired bi-stable piezoelectric energy harvester for …

Micro-power generators are increasingly becoming popular to meet the power requirements
of micro-electromechanical systems, such as small sensors. One such resource of …

Flapping wings, inspired by the mechanism of birds and fish, can act as generators to
harvest energy from tidal currents. The hydraulic system is simplified as a spring-damper …

This work presents our experimental studies on a trout-inspired multifunctional robotic fish
as an underwater swimmer and energy harvester. Fiber-based flexible piezoelectric …

Investigation of the energy harvesting from deep water waves by using flexible piezoelectric
eel in a controlled environment is studied. Energy harvesting potential is examined as a …

The flapping motion and energy harvesting performance of an inverted flag in the wake of a
bluff body are experimentally studied. The experimental measurements are carried out by …

The design issues associated with underwater vehicles operating in the surf zone or other
high-energy environments are likely to have viable biomimetic solutions. The flapping fin is …

Aquatic unmanned vehicles (AUVs) are making a shift to more efficient swimming designs
inspired from nature that utilize more flexible materials to make the system more mimetic …
