Asymptotic Solution to the Rayleigh Problem of Dynamic Soaring
Gabriel D. Bousquet, Michael S. Triantafyllou, Jean-Jacques E. Slotine
Albatrosses can travel a thousand kilometers daily over the oceans. This feat is achieved through dynamic soaring, a non-flapping flight strategy where propulsive energy is extract…
Artificial ciliary bundles with nano fiber tip links
Mohsen Asadnia, Ajay Giri Prakash Kottapalli, Jianmin Miao +1
Mechanosensory ciliary bundles in fishes are the inspiration for carefully engineered artificial flow sensors. We report the development of a new class of ultrasensitive MEMS flow…
Exquisitely sensitive seal whisker-like sensors detect wakes at large distances
Heather R. Beem, Michael S. Triantafyllou
Blindfolded harbor seals are able to use their uniquely shaped whiskers to track vortex wakes left by moving animals and objects that passed by up to 30 seconds earlier; this is an…
