    • Temperature and Salinity Tolerances Predict Range Expansion for Two Invasive Marine Invertebrates 

      Dassuncao, Clifton (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009-05)
      Aquatic invasions of nonindigenous species have increased dramatically due to the globalization of consumer goods, which relies on shipping to connect once isolated marine environments (Bright 1999, Barbier and Shogren ...

    • Touch-at-a-Distance: Pressure Microsensor Arrays for AUV Navigation 

      Lang, Jeffrey H.; Hover, Franz S.; Triantafyllou, Michael S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
      Inspired by the lateral-line organ in fish, the ultimate objective of this project continues to be the development of a passive system for AUVs that can detect, classify and locate underwater objects. The lateral line ...

    • Towards amphibious robots: Asymmetric flapping foil motion underwater produces large thrust efficiently 

      Licht, Stephen Carl; Wibawa, Martin; Hover, Franz S.; Triantafyllou, Michael S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
      The development of amphibious robots requires actuation that enables them to crawl as well as swim; sea turtles are excellent examples of amphibious functionality, that can serve as the biomimetic model for the development ...
