| Title | Testing, analysis, and enhancement of the swimming performance of robotic knifefish |
| Objective | This project aims at designing and developing such mechanism and actuation that can mimic undulating motion of real fish using median and/or paired fin (MPF). |
| Scope | In this project, the student is required to design practical and novel mechanism of fins in order to achieve undulating motion for robotic fish. Fins designed in this project is fundamental for the building of the experimental platform which is necessary in further theoretically study like fluid dynamics analysis of underwater robotic locomotion. Actuator selection, mechanical part fabrication and prototype making are involved in the project. Then the student will do experiments to test the new design. Different fin materials (both rigid and flexible) will be tested in the design. Some basic experiments must be done to observe the performance of robotic undulating motion with distinct fin material and motion tracks. |
