Even with damaged wings or fins, some animals can adapt the mechanics of their motions to compensate. Some species of fish can survive with as much as 76% of their fins damaged and still be able to swim.
Could a robotic flapper achieve the same feat?

The @CaltechEAS Trailblazers Symposium seeks to recognize and provide professional development opportunities for outstanding early career researchers who advance the frontiers of research in engineering and applied science.
eastrailblazers.caltech.edu/
Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars within 1-2 years of applying for faculty positions are encouraged to apply. We especially encourage applicants who are committed to success of the entire research community in the areas of research, teaching, and outreach.
The event will include a division-wide symposium consisting of high-level talks from each of the participants, professional development opportunities, a one-hour seminar aimed at an audience from the participant's discipline/department, and meetings with faculty throughout the Division.
Applicants should apply online and request their advisor (and any other references) to submit letters of recommendation. Applicants will be selected based on their research accomplishments and their commitment to the success of the entire research community in the areas of research, teaching, and outreach. The deadline for applications, including the letter(s) of recommendation, is August 1, 2024. The Trailblazers Symposium will occur on November 7-8, 2024.
