Vibrissa inspired geometries enhance sensitivity of wake-induced vibrations
Eva Erickson, Eric E. Handy-Cardenas, Joel W. Newbolt +2
We report on experiments designed to characterize the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and wake-induced vibration (WIV) experienced by bluff bodies immersed in both steady and unstea…
The Omega Turn: A General Turning Template for Elongate Robots
Baxi Chong, Tianyu Wang, Kelimar Diaz +12
Elongate limbless robots have the potential to locomote through tightly packed spaces for applications such as search-and-rescue and industrial inspections. The capability to effec…
Water surface swimming dynamics in lightweight centipedes
Kelimar Diaz, Baxi Chong, Steven Tarr +2
Study of the locomotion of a centipede (L. forficatus) at the air-water interface reveals that it does not predominantly use its 14 leg pairs to locomote; unlike most swimmers whic…
Self-propulsion via slipping: frictional swimming in multi-legged locomotors
Baxi Chong, Juntao He, Shengkai Li +5
Locomotion is typically studied either in continuous media where bodies and legs experience forces generated by the flowing medium, or on solid substrates dominated by friction. In…
Coordinating tiny limbs and long bodies: geometric mechanics of diverse undulatory lizard locomotion
Baxi Chong, Tianyu Wang, Eva Erickson +2
Although typically possessing four limbs and short bodies, lizards have evolved a diversity of body plans, from short-bodied and fully-limbed to elongate and nearly limbless. Such…
