Rethinking the four-wing problem in plesiosaur swimming using bio-inspired decentralized control by Akira Fukuhara, Mitsutoshi Sato, Hisayuki Ogawa, Tamaki Sato, William Sellers, Akio Ishiguro

“…We focus on plesiosaurs, an extinct aquatic reptile group which has two pairs of flipper-shaped limbs, and demonstrate that a highly optimised, flexible locomotor pattern for all four flippers can be reconstructed based on a decentralized control scheme formulated from extant animals’ locomotion. The results of our robotic experiments show that a simple, local sensory feedback mechanism allows the plesiosaur-like robot to exploit the fluid flow between the flippers and generate efficient swimming patterns in response to changes in locomotor conditions. …”
