This paper introduces the dynamic modelling of a single-link flexible manipulator with two
cables. The end-effector is attached at the distal end of the flexible link and tensed cables …

The flapping-wing technology has emerged recently in the application of unmanned aerial
robotics for autonomous flight, control, inspection, monitoring, and manipulation. Despite the …

In this paper, a versatile multi-body dynamic algorithm is developed to integrate an
incompressible fluid flow with a bio-inspired multibody dynamic system. Of particular interest …

This article presents a set of generic tools for multibody system dynamics devoted to the
study of bio-inspired locomotion in robotics. First, archetypal examples from the field of bio …

Control system performance is highly dependent on the quality of sensor information
available. In a growing number of applications, however, the control task must be …

The wings of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta are lined with mechanoreceptors called
campaniform sensilla that encode wing deformations. During flight, the wings deform in …

Based on experimental measurements of a live fish, a numerical model is established for a
pufferfish driven by the locomotion of its multiple flexible fins. The self-propelled motion of …

This paper presents a general algorithm for solving the dynamic of tree structure robots with
rigid and flexible links, active and passive joints, and with a fixed or floating base. The …

This paper utilizes the extended Hamilton's principle to develop a dynamic model of a single-
link flexible mechanism with two cables involving the cable pretensions. The effect of cable …

In animal locomotion, either in fish or flying insects, the use of flexible terminal organs or
appendages greatly improves the performance of locomotion (thrust and lift). In this article …
