The inertialess fluid–structure interactions of active and passive inextensible filaments and
slender-rods are ubiquitous in nature, from the dynamics of semi-flexible polymers and …

Robotic locomotion typically involves using gaits-periodic changes of kinematic shape,
which induce net motion of the body in a desired direction. An example is robotic …

Purcell's swimmer is a classical model of a simple three-link swimmer moving in a highly
viscous fluid, similar to the motion of microscopic organisms or robotic microswimmers. The …

In this letter, we analyze two optimal control problems for the scallop: a two-link swimmer
that is able to self-propel changing dynamics between two fluids regimes. We address and …

Controlling artificial devices that mimic the motion of real microorganisms, is attracting
increasing interest, both from the mathematical point of view and applications. A model for a …

This article presents a geometric and numerical approach to compute the optimal swimming
strokes of a larval copepod. A simplified model of locomotion at low Reynolds number is …

The objective of this article is to make a geometric and numerical analysis concerning the
optimal displacements of a larval copepod swimming at low Reynolds number. A simplified …

This thesis deals with mathematical aspects of controllability of micro-swimming robots and
of motility of micro-filaments, with ramifications in control theory and modeling. The first part …

Contrôler un système consiste à agir dessus afin de maîtriser l'évolution de son état. La
théorie du contrôle se divise en trois sous-domaines que l'on peut chacun résumer en une …

The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian visions of Classical Field Theories are well understood,
although some geometric constructions like Tulczyjew's Triple are recent. However, a long …
