For centuries, designers and engineers have looked to biology for inspiration. Biologically
inspired robots are just one example of the application of knowledge of the natural world to …

Fish maintain high swimming efficiencies over a wide range of speeds. A key to this
achievement is their flexibility, yet even flexible robotic fish trail real fish in terms of …

Understanding animals' behaviors is significant for a wide range of applications. However,
existing animal behavior datasets have limitations in multiple aspects, including limited …

Tuna and related scombrid fishes are high-performance swimmers that often operate at high
frequencies, especially during behaviors such as esca** from predators or catching prey …

Although the functional properties of shark skin have been of considerable interest to both
biologists and engineers because of the complex hydrodynamic effects of surface …

Soft robotics aims at creating systems with improved performance of movement and
adaptability in unknown, challenging, environments and with higher level of safety during …

Nearly all fish have flexible bodies that bend as a result of internal muscular forces and
external fluid forces that are dynamically coupled with the mechanical properties of the body …

Recent studies have shown that by utilizing the interactions among median fins (the dorsal,
anal, and caudal fins), fishes can achieve higher propulsion performance at the caudal fin …

Numerical simulations are used to investigate the hydrodynamic benefits of body–fin and fin–
fin interactions in a fish model in carangiform swimming. The geometry and kinematics of the …

The effects of chordwise deformation and the half-amplitude asymmetry on the
hydrodynamic performance and vortex dynamics of batoid fish have been numerically …
