      Kelasidi, Eleni; Kohl, Anna M; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad; Hoffmann, B; Gravdahl, Jan Tommy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Over the last few decades, the robotics community has shown increasing interest in developing bioinspired swimming robots, driven by the need for more economical, more efficient, autonomous, highly flexible and maneuverable ...
    • Review of two-phase flow models for control and estimation 

      Aarsnes, Ulf Jakob Flø; Flåtten, Tore; Aamo, Ole Morten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Most model-based control and estimation techniques put limitations on the structure and complexity of the models to which they are applied. This has motivated the development of simplified models of gas-liquid two-phase ...
    • Snake Robots 

      Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The inspiration for snake robots comes from biological snakes. Snakes display superior mobility capabilities and can move over virtually any type of terrain, including narrow and confined spaces. They are good climbers, ...
