The graceful and agile movements of animals are difficult to analyze and emulate because
locomotion is the result of a complex interplay of many components: the central and …

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 …

Undulatory swimming represents an ideal behavior to investigate locomotion control and the
role of the underlying central and peripheral components in the spinal cord. Many vertebrate …

In early 2016, we had the opportunity to test a pair of sprawling posture robots, one
designed to mimic a crocodile and another designed to mimic a monitor lizard, along the …

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a straight line path following controller for
underwater snake robots in the presence of constant irrotational currents of unknown …

Increasing efficiency by improving locomotion methods is a key issue for underwater robots.
Moreover, a number of different control design challenges must be solved to realize …
