Recently, the increasing interest in underwater exploration motivates the development of
aquatic unmanned vehicles. To execute hazardous tasks in an unknown or even hostile …

A comprehensive review of bio-inspired robot fish is presented in this paper with an
emphasis on locomotion, actuation, and control methods. Different swimming modes of …

Flying insects and swimming fishes have high efficiency and high maneuverability in air and
water, respectively. Their wings and fins have evolved for many ages to adapt to propelling …

An amphibious robot can locomote in amphibious environments, including walking on rough
terrains, maneuvering underwater, and passing through soft muddy or sandy substrates in …

Amphibious robots are very attractive for their broad applications in resource exploration,
disaster rescue, and reconnaissance. However, it is very challenging to develop the robots …

The integral flexible tail has the potential advantage of lifelike undulating motion. However,
due to the complex manufacturing process and difficult modification of structural parameters …

Due to the complex mechanism and fabrication process of flexible materials, it remains
extremely challenging for a flexible robotic fish to achieve fast and efficient locomotion. In …

This paper presents the steps for the mathematical modelling of a fish robot with four
degrees of freedom (DOF) called UC-Ika 1. The swimming motion of the robot, which is …

We make a thorough kinematic comparison of forward and backward swimming and
maneuvering on a self-propelled robot platform that uses sub-carangiform swimming as the …

The use of autonomous underwater vehicles is often hampered by stringent power
constraints that limit the duration of their deployment. Here, we present a novel autonomous …
