RT Journal Article T1 Proprioceptive Mechanism for Bioinspired Fish Swimming A1 Sánchez-Rodríguez, Jesús A1 Celestini, Franck A1 Raufaste, Christophe A1 Argentina, Médéric K1 Peces - Locomoción K1 Locomoción animal K1 Equilibrio (Fisiología) AB In this Letter, we propose a mechanism for driving bioinspired fish swimming locomotion based on proprioceptive sensing. Proprioception provides information about and representation of a body’s position, motion, and acceleration in addition to the usual five senses. We hypothesize that a feedback loop based on this “sixth” sense results in an instability, driving the locomotion. In order to test our assumptions, we use a biomimetic robot and compare the experimental results to a simple yet generic model with excellent agreement.
