Swimmer

As a part of a lab exercise at Georgia Tech and as one of my class projects, the swimmer was a project where the aim was to make a three-bar-link robot learn how to swim. The main components for the project included simulating the robot dynamics, the fluid dynamics and incorporating control decisions taken based on a learning algorithm. My contribution to this project was the fluid dynamics. The following videos of our swimming robot were produced as a result of collaboration between team members.
