Towards a Finned-Swimming Exoskeleton: A Robotic Flutter Kicking Testbed and its Corresponding Thrust Generation

While lower limb exoskeletons for above-ground locomotion have been emerging, few attempts have been made to develop an exoskeleton to augment human swimming. Such efforts are hindered by a lack of knowledge surrounding the kinematics and kinetics of human swimming. This paper presents the design of…
