About

Dr. Artem Ermolaev is a leading researcher in bioinspired robotics, with a primary focus on biomimetic propulsion systems for aquatic robots. His most cited work, "Bioinspired Propulsion System for a Thunniform Robotic Fish" (2022, 27 citations), introduces an innovative propulsion mechanism that closely mimics the natural locomotion of thunniform fish. In this design, an elastic chord combined with a tail fin is actuated by a servomotor through two symmetric movable thrusts, effectively simulating muscle contractions. This system enables efficient, fish-like swimming by replicating the oscillatory motion of a real fish tail. Dr. Ermolaev's contributions are significant for advancing the field of underwater robotics, offering a more natural and energy-efficient alternative to traditional propeller-based propulsion. His work has been cited by researchers developing autonomous underwater vehicles, soft robotics, and marine biology-inspired engineering. By bridging the gap between biological principles and mechanical design, Dr. Ermolaev is helping to shape the next generation of agile, silent, and highly maneuverable robotic fish for environmental monitoring, exploration, and defense applications.
