Title
Swimming frog cyborg which generates efficient hydrodynamic propulsion with webbed foot
Abstract
This paper shows a frog cyborg Xenopus-noid with webbed feet based on the anatomical structure of feet of X. laevis. Locomotion of an animal is generated through interactions among the nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. We particularly focus on bio-machine hybrid systems in order to understand dynamics of these interactions. Under this circumstance, we propose a frog cyborg driven by dissected muscles from frog legs, and webbed feet generate efficient hydrodynamic propulsion for good frog-like swimming.
