Density-contrast induced inertial forces on particles in oscillatory flows
Siddhansh Agarwal, Gaurav Upadhyay, Yashraj Bhosale +2
Oscillatory flows have become an indispensable tool in microfluidics, inducing inertial effects for displacing and manipulating fluid-borne objects in a reliable, controllable, and…
Topology, dynamics, and control of an octopus-analog muscular hydrostat
Arman Tekinalp, Noel Naughton, Seung-Hyun Kim +5
Muscular hydrostats, such as octopus arms or elephant trunks, lack bones entirely, endowing them with exceptional dexterity and reconfigurability. Key to their unmatched ability to…
Three-dimensional soft streaming
Songyuan Cui, Yashraj Bhosale, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming is an efficient rectification mechanism to exploit flow inertia at small scales for fluid and particle manipulation. It typically entails a fluid vibrating around…
Non-planar snake gaits: from Stigmatic-starts to Sidewinding
N. Charles, R. Chelakkot, M. Gazzola +2
Of the vast variety of animal gaits, one of the most striking is the non-planar undulating motion of a sidewinder. But non-planar gaits are not limited to sidewinders. Here we repo…
Hierarchical control and learning of a foraging CyberOctopus
Chia-Hsien Shih, Noel Naughton, Udit Halder +5
Inspired by the unique neurophysiology of the octopus, we propose a hierarchical framework that simplifies the coordination of multiple soft arms by decomposing control into high-l…
