After a general introduction to aerial-aquatic locomotion in nature, and a summary of the most important engineering achievements, the book introduces readers to important physical and mathematical aspects of the multimodal locomotion problem. Besides the basic physics involved in aerial-aquatic locomotion, the role of different phenomena happening in fluids, or those due to structural mechanics effects or to power provision, are presented in depth, across a large dimension range, from millimeters to hundreds of meters. In turn, a practice-oriented discussion on the obstacles and opportunities of miniaturization, for bothrobots and animals is carried out. This is followed by applied engineering considerations, which describe relevant hardware considerations involved in propulsion, control, communication and fabrication. Different case studies are analyzed in detail, reporting on the latest research carried out by the authors, and covering topics such as propulsive aquatic escape, the challenging mechanics of water impact, and a hybrid sailing and flying aircraft. Offering extensive and timely information on the design, construction and operation of small-scale robots, and on multimodal locomotion, this book provides researchers, students and professionals with a comprehensive and timely reference guide to the topic of aerial-aquatic locomotion, and the relevant bioinspired approaches. It is also expected to inspire future research and foster a stronger multidisciplinary discussion in the field. 410 0$aBiosystems & Biorobotics,$x2195-3570 ;$v29 606 $aBionics 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aBioinspired Technologies 606 $aRobotic Engineering 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics 615 0$aBionics. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 14$aBioinspired Technologies. 615 24$aRobotic Engineering. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 676 $a629.892 676 $a629.892 700 $aZufferey$b Raphael$01079385 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910523740003321 996 $aBetween sea and sky$92913025 997 $aUNINA
