Identification of the trade-off between speed and efficiency in undulatory swimming using a bio-inspired robot

Abstract Anguilliform swimmers, like eels or lampreys, are highly efficient swimmers. Key to understanding their performances is the relationship between the body’s kinematics and resulting swimming speed and efficiency. But, we cannot prescribe kinematics to living fish, and it is challenging to me...
