Energy-Efficient Surface Propulsion Inspired by Whirligig Beetles

The whirligig beetle, claimed to be one of the most energy-efficient swimmers in the animal kingdom, has evolved a series of propulsion strategies that may serve as a source of inspiration for the design of propulsion mechanisms for energy-efficient surface swimming. In this paper, we introduce a ro...
