Propulsive Force Characterization of a Bio-Robotic Sea Lion Foreflipper: A Kinematic Basis for Agile Propulsion

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) capable of agile, high-speed maneuvering in complex environments require propulsion systems that can dynamically modulate three-dimensional forces. The California sea lion (<i>Zalophus californianus</i>) provides an exceptional biological model, using its foreflip...
