A novel approach for swimming analysis in main swimming styles using a single sacrum-worn IMU sensor

Introduction: Today, inertial measurement units (IMU) provide promising solutions for swimmers’ motions analysis [1-3]. However, most studies focused on few parameters, often during strokes of front crawl style [4]. For swimming training session monitoring ...

Bio-Inspired Tensegrity Fish Robot

Dario Floreano, Jun Shintake, Davide Zappetti, Timothée John Martin Peter, Yusuke Ikemoto

This paper presents a method to create fish-like robots with tensegrity systems and describes a prototype modeled on the body shape of the rainbow trout with a length of 400 mm and a mass of 102 g that is driven by a waterproof servomotor. The structure of ...

Anin vivomicrofluidic study of bacterial transit inC. elegansnematodes

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Vittorio Viri

Caenorhabditis elegans(C. elegans) constitutes an important model organism for use in nutrition and aging studies. We report a novel method for studying the dynamics ofEscherichia coli(E. coli) bacterial transit through the worms' intestine. A microfluidic ...

The Hydrodynamics of a Micro-Rocket Propelled by a Deformable Bubble

François Gallaire, Lailai Zhu, Giacomo Gallino

We perform simulations to study the hydrodynamics of a conical-shaped swimming micro-robot that ejects catalytically produced bubbles from its inside. We underline the nontrivial dependency of the swimming velocity on the bubble deformability and on the ge ...

RoboScallop: A Bivalve Inspired Swimming Robot

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson

Underwater swimming robots permit remote access to over 70% of the Earth's surface that is covered in water for a variety of scientific, environmental, tactical, or industrial purposes. Many practical applications for robots in this setting include sensing ...

On the Dynamics of Magnetic Swimmers in Stokes Flow

Pauline Marie Rüegg-Reymond

In the past decade, the engineering community has conceived, manufactured and tested micro-swimmers, i.e. microscopic devices which can be steered in their intended environment. Foreseen applications range from microsurgery and targeted drug delivery to en ...

Development of Bio-inspired Underwater Robot with Adaptive Morphology Capable of Multiple Swimming Modes

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Jun Shintake, Thibaut André Pierre Paschal

Bio-inspired underwater robots have several benefits compared to traditional underwater vehicles such as agility, efficiency, and an environmentally friendly body. However, the bio-inspired underwater robots developed so far have a single swimming mode, wh ...

Front-crawl stroke descriptors variability assessment for skill characterisation

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi

The goal of this article is to character ise front-crawl swimming skill based on variability pattern of technique descriptors. Nine national level and nine recreational swimmers performed three 300 m trials in a 50 m outdoor pool, at 70%, 80% and 90% of th ...

The mechanical world of bacteria

Alexandre Louis André Persat

In the wild, bacteria are predominantly associated with surfaces as opposed to existing as free-swimming, isolated organisms. They are thus subject to surface-specific mechanics, including hydrodynamic forces, adhesive forces, the rheology of their surroun ...

Squirming through shear-thinning fluids

Lailai Zhu

Many micro-organisms find themselves immersed in fluids displaying non-Newtonian rheological properties such as viscoelasticity and shear-thinning viscosity. The effects of viscoelasticity on swimming at low Reynolds numbers have already received considera ...
