SUMMARY:Hiroto Tanaka (Tokyo Institute of Technology): Penguin-mimetic flap
 ping-wing propulsion
DESCRIPTION:Hiroto Tanaka: Penguins have evolved to swim underwater. They a
 re capable of high-speed foraging\, agile maneuver\, and deep diving by th
 e flapping wings\, that can be a promising model for biomimetic underwater
  robots in the future. The biomechanics and hydrodynamics studies of pengu
 in swimming\, however\, are sparse to date\, remaining the details of the 
 propulsion mechanism unclear. In this talk\, the first 3-D motion analysis
  of swimming penguins at an aquarium will be explained. Quasi-steady hydro
 dynamic calculation suggests that the wing deformation perhaps contribute 
 to thrust generation. Then\, an electric 3-DoF penguin-mimetic wing and it
 s hydrodynamic experiment in a water tunnel will be demonstrated. By activ
 e control of each motion\, magnitude and direction of the thrust largely c
 hange. The above biomimetic approach can contribute to both biology and en
 gineering in swimming penguins.\nIOSSB Seminar
