Journal ArticleDOI
Tuna robotics: A high-frequency experimental platform exploring the performance space of swimming fishes.
TL;DR: Comparison of midline kinematics between scombrid fish and the Tunabot shows good agreement over a wide range of frequencies, with the biggest discrepancy occurring at the caudal fin, primarily due to the rigid propulsor used in the robotic model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tunabot Flex: a tuna-inspired robot with body flexibility improves high-performance swimming
TL;DR: Tunas are designed and tested as a research platform to investigate the role of body flexibility and to close the performance gap between robotic and biological systems, and Tunabot Flex provides a new baseline for the development of future bio-inspired underwater vehicles.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamics and Flow Characterization of Tuna-Inspired Propulsion in Forward Swimming
Junshi Wang,Huy Tran,Martha Christino,Carl White,Joseph Zhu,George V. Lauder,Hilary Bart-Smith,Haibo Dong +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined experimental and numerical approach is employed to study the hydrodynamic performance and characterize the flow features of thunniform swimming by using a tuna-inspired underwater vehicle in forward swimming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuna robotics: hydrodynamics of rapid linear accelerations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that thunniform fish use their lunate caudal fin to generate lift-based thrust during locomotor manoeuvres, but little is known about the dynamics of acceleration performance.
Patent
Flexible, self-rolled superficial flow sensor
TL;DR: A superficial flow sensor may include a substrate; a thin film with a self-rolled portion, a stationary portion, and a free ribbon portion; an embedded strain gauge circuit; and at least one contact pad as mentioned in this paper.
