Southampton Plesiosaur Experiment
A four-axis gantry-mounted motion control system capable of flapping two flippers in a recirculating flume tank while measuring the hydrodynamic forces.

My doctoral research at the University of Southampton required a custom-built system that could flap two flippers in a recirculating flume tank while recording forces on the flippers and capturing flow visualisation.
The control system was written in LabVIEW and was run on a National Instruments cRIO system.
