The eel-like robot (2009)

Abstract
The aim of this project is to design, study and build an ``eel-like robot'' prototype able to swim in three dimensions. The study is based on the analysis of eel swimming and results in the realization of a prototype with 12 vertebrae, a skin and a head with two fins. To reach these objectives, a multidisciplinary group of teams and laboratories has been formed in the framework of two French projects.
