چکیده
In this paper, a carangiform robotic fish with 4-DoF (degree of freedom) tail has been developed. The robotic fish has capability of swimming under two modes that are radio control and autonomous swimming. Experiments were conducted to investigate the influences of characteristic parameters including the frequency, the amplitude, the wave length, the phase difference and the coefficient on forward velocity. The experimental results shown that the swimming performance of the robotic fish is affected mostly by the characteristic parameters observed.

Experiments in Carangiform Robotic Fish Locomotion
This paper studies a form of robotic fish movement that is analogous to the Carangiform style of swimming seen in nature. We propose a simple quasisteady fluid flow model for predicting the thrust generated by the flapping tail. We then describe an experimental system, consisting of a three-link robot, that has been constructed in order to study carangiform-like swimming. Experimental results o...

This paper presents a novel dynamic model of a bio-inspired robotic fish underwater vehicle by unifying conventional rigid body dynamics and bio-fluid-dynamics of a carangiform fish swimming given by Lighthill’s (LH) slender body theory. It proposes an inclusive mathematical design for better control and energy efficient path travel for the robotic fish. The system is modeled as an 2-link robot...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Experimental Investigation on Efficient Swimming of Robotic Fish Using Self-propelled Method
Efficient swimming of biologically carangiform robotic fish has been investigated by using a novel experimental method. The laboratory robotic fish model, which follows an exact replica of Saithe, is self-propelled on a servo towing system. The forward towing speed is determined by the fluid force acting on the robotic fish, as the fish undulates its body in the water. The importance of the sel...
متن کاملBiological Inspiration: From Carangiform Fish to Multi-Joint Robotic Fish
This paper presents a novel approach to modelling carangiform fish-like swimming motion for multi-joint robotic fish so that they can obtain fish-like behaviours and mimic the body motion of carangiform fish. A given body motion function of fish swimming is firstly converted to a tail motion function which describes the tail motion relative to the head. Then, the tail motion function is discret...
متن کاملTrajectory Stabilization for a Planar Carangiform Robot Fish
This paper considers the task of trajectory stabilization for a fish-like robot by means of feedback. We use oscillatory control inputs and apply correction signals at the endpoints of each periodic input signal. Such a strategy can be proven to cause the system to converge to a desired trajectory. We present a specific model of a planar carangiform fish, and verify the stabilization results wi...
