Heterogeneous Swarms for Maritime Dynamic Target Search and Tracking
Hian Lee Kwa, Grgur Tokić, Roland Bouffanais +1
Current strategies employed for maritime target search and tracking are primarily based on the use of agents following a predetermined path to perform a systematic sweep of a searc…
Gradual Collective Upgrade of a Swarm of Autonomous Buoys for Dynamic Ocean Monitoring
Francesco Vallegra, David Mateo, Grgur Tokić +2
Swarms of autonomous surface vehicles equipped with environmental sensors and decentralized communications bring a new wave of attractive possibilities for the monitoring of dynami…
From solar cells to ocean buoys: Wide-bandwidth limits to absorption by metaparticle arrays
M. Benzaouia, G. Tokic, O. D. Miller +2
In this paper, we develop an approximate wide-bandwidth upper bound to the absorption enhancement in arrays of metaparticles, applicable to general wave-scattering problems and mot…
Swarm-Enabling Technology for Multi-Robot Systems
Mohammadreza Chamanbaz, David Mateo, Brandon M. Zoss +4
Swarm robotics has experienced a rapid expansion in recent years, primarily fueled by specialized multi-robot systems developed to achieve dedicated collective actions. These speci…
The Numerical Simulation of Ship Waves Using Cartesian-Grid and Volume-of-Fluid Methods
Douglas G. Dommermuth, Thomas T. O'Shea, Donald C. Wyatt +5
Cartesian-grid methods in combination with immersed-body and volume-of-fluid methods are ideally suited for simulating breaking waves around ships. A surface panelization of the sh…
Efficiency of Fish Propulsion
A. P. Maertens, M. S. Triantafyllou, D. K. P. Yue
It is shown that the system efficiency of a self-propelled flexible body is ill-defined unless one considers the concept of quasi-propulsive efficiency, defined as the ratio of the…
Physics-Based Learning Models for Ship Hydrodynamics
Gabriel D. Weymouth, Dick K. P. Yue
We present the concepts of physics-based learning models (PBLM) and their relevance and application to the field of ship hydrodynamics. The utility of physics-based learning is mot…
Physical limits on cellular directional mechanosensing
Roland Bouffanais, Jianmin Sun, Dick K. P. Yue
Many eukaryotic cells are able to perform directional mechanosensing by directly measuring minute spatial differences in the mechanical stress on their membranes. Here, we explore…
