Flagellar Swimming at Low Reynolds Numbers: Zoospore-Inspired Robotic Swimmers with Dual Flagella for High-Speed Locomotion
Nnamdi C. Chikere, Sofia Lozano Voticky, Quang D. Tran +1
Traditional locomotion strategies become ineffective at low Reynolds numbers, where viscous forces predominate over inertial forces. To adapt, microorganisms have evolved specializ…

Soft Wrist Exosuit Actuated by Fabric Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
Katalin Schäffer, Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin, Margaret M. Coad
Recently, soft actuator-based exosuits have gained interest, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, inherent safety, and low cost. We present a novel wrist exosuit actuated by…

The Effect of Flagella Stiffness on the Locomotion of a Multi-Flagellated Robot at Low Reynolds Environment
Nnamdi Chikere, Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin
Microorganisms such as algae and bacteria move in a viscous environment with extremely low Reynolds (), where the viscous drag dominates the inertial forces. They have adapted…
