About
A. V. Klekovkin is a researcher in the field of robotics and nonlinear dynamics, with a primary focus on the locomotion and control of aquatic robots. His key contributions center on the innovative use of internal rotors for propulsion, a paradigm that eschews traditional external propellers. In his most-cited work, "The Control of an Aquatic Robot by a Periodic Rotation of the Internal Flywheel" (2023), he presents a novel design for a cylindrical robot with an airfoil-shaped base, actuated solely by a single internal flywheel. The study derives the equations of motion using Kirchhoff equations for rigid body motion in an ideal fluid, demonstrating how periodic rotation can generate controlled movement. This foundational work, accruing 3 citations, has opened new avenues for silent, efficient underwater vehicles. Klekovkin’s research is notable for its elegant mathematical modeling of complex fluid-structure interactions, offering a minimalist approach to robotic propulsion that could inspire future work in bio-inspired and energy-efficient aquatic systems.
