Strouhal-Aware Model Predictive Control for Efficient Multi-Fin Flapping Locomotion

Yuya Hamamatsu, Zixi Chen, Maarja Kruusmaa, Asko Ristolainen

Efficient flapping propulsion hinges on operating within a narrow Strouhal number window, a principle nature has converged upon for maximum thrust-to-power ratio. We translate this bioinspired empirical rule into real-time control, demonstrating it on an autonomous underwater veh…
