In the medical field and in soft robotics, flexible devices are required for safe human
interaction, while rigid structures are required to withstand the force application and …

In this paper, a novel compliant joint with two identical torsion springs is proposed for a
biomimetic multi-joint robotic fish, which enables imitatation of the swimming behavior of live …

Compliance can increase the thrust generated by the fin of a bio-inspired underwater
vehicle. To improve the performance of a compliant fin, the compliance should change with …

The caudal fin is a major source of thrust generation in fish locomotion. Along with the fin
stiffness, the stiffness of the joint connecting the fish body to the tail plays a major role in the …

In this paper, we present a novel stiffness adjustable structure that changes its stiffness by
pulling a tendon. It adopts an endoskeleton structure where rigid segments and compliant …

Experimental investigations on biomimetic mechanical fins have been carried out by
researchers to study and mimic the behaviour of fish. Flexible fins are proven to be better …

This paper details the design, fabrication and experimental verification of a complete,
tetherless, pressure-operated soft robotic platform. Miniature CO 2 cartridges in conjunction …

Analysing the motion of animals, especially at high speeds, is often challenging. Motion
tracking software needs to deal with a variety of visual contexts, variable lighting conditions …

Fish in nature adjust their swimming modes by regulating muscle stiffness under different
ocean conditions. Peduncle stiffness plays a significant role in propulsive performance …

The robotic fish with high propulsion efficiency and good maneuverability achieves
underwater fishlike propulsion by commonly adopting the motor to drive the fishtail, causing …
