摘要: Improved rheometry is provided using an autonomous swimming robot that can be driven at least in an angular velocity mode and in a torque mode. The resulting improved capability can enable measurement of multiple rheological parameters, such as both normal stress components ψ1 and ψ2, by observing motion of the robot in the fluid. The robot is preferably rotationally symmetric. but with a fore-aft head-tail asymmetry that enables propulsion in complex fluids when the head and tail are driven to rotate opposite each other about the rotational axis of symmetry.
