Τώρα τι θέλουν οι Έλληνες ερευνητές, είναι άλλο θέμα. Πάντως δεν γίνεται ντόρος μόνο για την Αμφίπολη!
Η κίνηση ονομάζεται “sculling” και ερευνητές από το δικό μας Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) ετοίμασαν το παρακάτω: “This robotic swimmer is first investigated computationally via dynamical models capturing the arm and web compliance, and indicating the effect of various kinematic parameters of the system on its motion. The performance of the robotic prototype is, then, tested experimentally, to demonstrate this novel mode of underwater propulsion by combining various patterns of sculling movements of the arms and web. Speeds of 0.5 body lengths per second and propulsive forces of up to 10.5 N were achieved, with a cost of transport as low as 0.62.”
Μήπως ο τέλειος ‘κατάσκοπος‘;!
