| Title | Study of Undulating Motion of Robotic Fish and its Driven Force |
| Objective | The project aims at studying and implementation of underwater undulating locomotion in order to provide theoretical fundamentals for the fin’s motion planning of robotic. The relationship between underwater motion and driven force will be obtained. |
| Scope | Four steps are involved in the project. i) Study and analyze the fin motion modes of a class of real fish whose propulsion are based on the undulation. Mathematical formula describing fin’s motion of those fish should be presented; ii) The theoretical formula will be implemented on the robotic knife fish and stingray to achieve optimized undulating motion for the robotic fish; iii) Design and develop underwater force measurement methodology for the robotic fish and acquire data of driven force through experiments; iv) According to the results and observation in above steps, present some basic conclusions about the relationship between undulating motion of robotic fish and its driven force in the water. |
