Identification of the trade-off between speed and efficiency in undulatory swimming using a bio-inspired robot
Auke Ijspeert, Karen Ann J Mulleners, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Alexandros Anastasiadis, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Eric Daniel Tytell
Anguilliform swimmers, like eels or lampreys, are highly efficient swimmers. Key to understanding their performances is the relationship between the body’s kinematics and resulting swimming speed and efficiency. But, we cannot prescribe kinematics to livin ...
2023Monitoring weekly progress of front crawl swimmers using IMU-based performance evaluation goal metrics
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Fabien Massé, Mahdi Hamidi Rad, Vincent Gremeaux
Technical evaluation of swimming performance is an essential factor in preparing elite swimmers for their competitions. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have attracted much attention recently because they can provide coaches with a detailed analysis of sw ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022SmartSwim: A novel approach to swimming analysis and coaching assistance based on wearable inertial sensors
As one of the three most popular sports in the Summer Olympics, competitive swimming has always been an attractive subject of study for sports scientists. The intricate nature of the swimmer's movements and the variety of techniques have led coaches to req ...
EPFL2022An experimental validation of the polynomial curvature model: identification and optimal control of a soft underwater tentacle
Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella, Nana Obayashi
The control possibilities for soft robots have long been hindered by the lack of accurate yet computationally treatable dynamic models of soft structures. Polynomial curvature models propose a solution to this quest for continuum slender structures. Nevert ...
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.2022SmartSwim, a Novel IMU-Based Coaching Assistance
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Fabien Massé, Mahdi Hamidi Rad, Vincent Gremeaux
Swimming coaches provide regular timed and technical feedback to swimmers and guide them efficiently in training sessions. Due to the complexity of swimmers' performance, which is not visible in qualitative observation, quantitative and objective performan ...
MDPI2022A Novel Macro-Micro Approach for Swimming Analysis in Main Swimming Techniques Using IMU Sensors
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Mahdi Hamidi Rad, Vincent Gremeaux
Inertial measurement units (IMU) are proven as efficient tools for swimming analysis by overcoming the limits of video-based systems application in aquatic environments. However, coaches still believe in the lack of a reliable and easy-to-use analysis syst ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2021Swimming phase-based performance evaluation using a single IMU in front crawl
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Mahdi Hamidi Rad, Vincent Gremeaux
The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of using a sacrum-worn inertial measurement unit (IMU) for performance evaluation in each swimming phase (wall push-off, glide, stroke preparation, and swimming) of national-level swimmers in front craw ...
University of Canberra2021Swimming Phase-Based Performance Evaluation Using a Single IMU in Main Swimming Techniques
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Fabien Massé, Mahdi Hamidi Rad, Vincent Gremeaux
Comprehensive monitoring of performance is essential for swimmers and swimming coaches to optimize the training. Regardless of the swimming technique, the swimmer passes various swimming phases from wall to wall, including a dive into the water or wall pus ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2021Emergence of robust self-organized undulatory swimming based on local hydrodynamic force sensing
Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Robin Thandiackal, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Kyoichi Akiyama
Undulatory swimming represents an ideal behavior to investigate locomotion control and the role of the underlying central and peripheral components in the spinal cord. Many vertebrate swimmers have central pattern generators and local pressure-sensitive re ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2021Automated flow control of a multi-lane swimming chamber for small fishes indicates species-specific sensitivity to experimental protocols
In fishes, swimming performance is considered an important metric to measure fitness, dispersal and migratory abilities. The swimming performance of individual larval fishes is often integrated into models to make inferences on how environmental parameters ...
