Bionic propulsion has advantages over traditional blade propellers, such as efficiency and noise control. Existing research on ray-inspired robot fish mainly focused a single type of pectoral fin bionic propeller, which only performed well in terms pure speed or maneuverability. Rarely the performance different types been compared same platform to find an optimal solution. In this paper, modularized with high-fidelity biomimetic fins novel multi-DOF propelling mechanism is presented. A...
Bionic propulsion has certain advantages over traditional propellers. Much research on pectoral fins as bionic propellers for ray-inspired robots been made, but rarely did they compare the hydrodynamic performance of different same platform to find out optimal balance. In this paper, existing prototypes are categorized into three structure types, and a new fin module used robotic fish was presented, together with novel 2-DOF spatial parallel mechanism propeller. Motion analysis agreed well...
