In this study, the optimal arm strokes in crawl swimming which maximize the swimming
speed and propulsive efficiency were solved computationally. For this objective, an …

The objective of this study was to simulate the swimming motion with bi-fins and investigate
the effect of ankle joint motion by simulation. A model of a swimmer was constructed by …

The objective of this study was to realize the free swimming of the crawl stroke with the
previously developed swimming humanoid robot. The upper body of the robot was …

The objectives of this study were to solve computationally the arm stroke in the crawl
swimming which maximized the swimming speed for different maximum joint torque …

The objective of this study was to conduct the musculoskeletal simulation and the EMG
(Electromyogram) measurement for the same trial of the same swimmer performing the …

In order to clarify the mechanics of human swimming, a full-body swimming humanoid robot
called “SWUMANOID” was developed as an experimental platform for research about …

The objective of this study was to realize the butterfly stroke by the swimming humanoid
robot “SWUMANOID”, and to investigate the swimming performance of the robot. The robot …

The objective of this study was to develop a prototype of transfemoral prosthesis for
swimming focused on the ankle joint motion. This prosthesis has (i) an ankle joint which …

The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive method for musculoskeletal
simulation in swimming. In the developed method, the motion capture data of a swimming …

The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive dynamic model of the paddler,
paddle and hull for a simulation analysis of the paddling motion in a single kayak. In the …
