...Kene Li; Yunong Zhang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation of a zero‐initial‐velocity self‐motion scheme on a six degrees of freedom (six‐DOF) planar robot manipulator. Design/methodology/approach In view of the existence of physical limits in an actual...

..., in this study, a simplified simulator is constructed and a better shape of fin is explored. Findings Four types of fin shape were prepared and the swimming experiments were conducted. The swimming velocity changed according to the frequency and the shape of fin. In order to find the optimal shape of fin...
