Thrust and wake characterization in small, robust ultrasonic thrusters

Among the new technologies in marine robotics is the trend toward smaller, cheaper and highly maneuverable vehicles, which could operate in swarms and also in very narrow and cluttered environments. A key challenge for vehicles with characteristic length of tens of centimeters scale is propulsion, w...
