The Fundamental Eel Equations (opens in new tab)

The Fundamental Eel Equations Horn, Berthold K.P. Details of the kinematics, statics, and dynamics of a particularly simple form of locomotory system are developed to demonstrate the importance of understanding the behavior of the mechanical system interposed between the commands to the actuators and the generation of displacements in manipulation and locomotion systems, both natural and artificial. This report describes research done at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Massachus...
