IROS 2015poster

The present paper considers the modeling, control, development and experimental validation of bio-inspired multiarm underwater robotic swimmers actuated by compliant actuating elements, in the context of the soft robotics paradigm. Each one of the swimmer's compliant arms is actuated at its base by…

Vision-based 3D motion reconstruction of octopus arm swimming and comparison with an 8-arm underwater robot

Asimina Kazakidi, Xenophon Zabulis, Dimitris P. Tsakiris

ICRA 2015poster

The octopus uses the arm-swimming behavior primarily for escape, defense, or foraging. This mode of locomotion is comprised of two strokes, with the arms opening slowly and closing rapidly, and generally results in considerable propulsive acceleration. In light of the recent development by our group…
