Nature in engineering for monitoring the oceans: towards a bio-inspired flexible AUV operating in an unsteady flow

It has long been understood that swimming marine animals have evolved capabilities in terms of speed, manoeuvrability, and efficiency which are desirable for underwater vehicles. Despite this, solutions inspired by nature, or bio-inspiration, are very rarely applied to solve engineering challenges....
