Abstract: Hydrofoil‐shaped limbs (flipper‐hydrofoils) have evolved independently several times in secondarily marine tetrapods and generally fall into two functional categories: (1) those that produce the majority of thrust during locomotion (propulsive flipper‐hydrofoils); (2) those used primarily… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tmech.2021.3073690
Abstract: Motivated by the requirement for developing a lightweight and nimble underwater vehicle-manipulator system (UVMS), this article presents a novel design of the overall framework and the functional modules for a flippers-driven UVMS (F-UVMS), which is… read more here.
