My Robotics Publications



My Robotics Publications
I do my best to keep this updated . . . I also have more information and downloads posted on my robot fish page.

I also set up a Google Scholar profile to get more information on citations. However, Google doesn't do so well keeping it updated, and so it's missing quite a few citations.
