Journal ArticleDOI
Review of fish swimming modes for aquatic locomotion
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the swimming mechanisms employed by fish is presented, with a relevant and useful introduction to the existing literature for engineers with an interest in the emerging area of aquatic biomechanisms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Continuum robots - a state of the art
G. Robinson,J.B.C. Davies +1 more
TL;DR: The fundamental difference between discrete, serpentine and continuum robot devices is defined, the 'state of the art' of continuum robots are presented, their areas of application are outlined, and some control issues are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
AMADEUS: advanced manipulation for deep underwater sampling
David M. Lane,J.B.C. Davies,Giuseppe Casalino,Giorgio Bartolini,Giorgio Cannata,G. Veruggio,Miquel Canals,Caleb Smith,D.J. O'Brien,M. Pickett,G. Robinson,Daniel O.B. Jones,E. Scott,Antonella Ferrara,D. Angelleti,Mauro Coccoli,R. Bono,P. Virgili,Raimon Pallàs,Eulàlia Gràcia +19 more
TL;DR: AMADEUS is a dexterous subsea robot hand incorporating force and slip contact sensing, using fluid filled tentacles for fingers, which are ideal for reliable use in the deep ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
The AMADEUS dextrous subsea hand: design, modeling, and sensor processing
TL;DR: In this paper, a dextrous subsea robot hand incorporating force and slip contact sensing is described, where the hand uses a fluid-filled tentacle for each finger, which has inherent passive compliance, and no moving parts.

AMADEUS: advanced manipulator for deep underwater sampling
David M. Lane,J.B.C. Davies,G. Robinson,D.J. O'Brien,M. Pickett,D. Jones,E. Scott,Yongji Wang,Giuseppe Casalino,Giorgio Bartolini,Giorgio Cannata,Antonella Ferrara,D. Angelletti,Mauro Coccoli,G. Veruggio,R. Bono,P. Virgili,Gi. Bruzzone,Miquel Canals,Raimon Pallàs,Eulàlia Gràcia,Caleb Smith +21 more
TL;DR: This paper summarizes the developments in Phase I of AMADEUS, a dexterous subsea robot hand incorporating force and slip contact sensing, using fluid-filled tentacles for fingers, which has inherent passive compliance, no moving parts, and are naturally depth pressure-compensated.
