Dynamic modeling and experiment of hind leg swimming of beaver-like underwater robot [PDF]

open access: yesMechanical Sciences, 2022
When the beaver-like underwater robot is swimming, its hind legs provide the main propulsion force for the body, which is the source of power for the robot's movement.

Development of a Variable-Configuration Bionic Robotic Fish

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2023
Bionic robotic fish have advantages over traditional underwater propulsion. Most of the existing studies have been conducted with only one type of fish as a bionic object, but a single propulsion mode may not be able to achieve the different needs of ...

A novel propulsion method of flexible underwater robots [PDF]

open access: yes2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2011
This paper presents aims at mobility improvement of flexible underwater robots. For this purpose, a novel propulsion method using planar structural vibration pattern is proposed, and tested on two kinds of prototypes. The result of experiments showed the possibility of the movements for multiple directions: forward, backward, turn, rotation, drift, and

Modeling and propulsion methods of underwater snake robots [PDF]

open access: yes2017 IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA), 2017
In this paper we consider underwater snake robots (USRs) that may be equipped with additional added effectors along their body, including caudal, dorsal and pectoral fins, tunnel thrusters and/or a stern propeller. We propose a mathematical model for USRs swimming in a 2D plane, which includes the extra propulsion forces acting on each link from the ...

Strouhal number analysis for the swimming of little penguin (Eudyptula minor): Proof of efficient underwater propulsion

open access: yesResults in Engineering, 2023
Penguins are the utmost specialized wing-propelled divers as their flapping action is accountable for the entire underwater propulsion. However, numerical evidence of how efficient their underwater propulsion is has not been studied to date.

Visual Recognition and Detection System for Small Targets of Near-Bottom Exploration Type Bionic UUV

open access: yes水下无人系统学报, 2023
The bionic unmanned undersea vehicles(UUVs) replace human labor and realize underwater operation by imitating the movement principle of marine organisms. Compared with the traditional UUV, the bionic UUV has the bionics advantages of high stability, high

Intelligent Propulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
S.71-82Free-floating underwater robotic vehicles are free to move in all six degrees of freedom. While active pitch and roll is typically limited by design, i.e. hydrostatic stability, the robots attitude, position and speed control is based on thrusters

Propeller optimization for underwater propulsion

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Annotation. This article is devoted to the optimization of an underwater propulsion propeller and the identification of the main dependencies in the first stages of optimization. A mathematical model and a parameterized 3d model with indication of variable parameters, as well as optimization criteria, are presented.

A potential-flow based flight simulator for an underwater glider [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Underwater gliders are recent innovative types of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) used in ocean exploration and observation. They adjust their buoyancy to dive and to return to the ocean surface.
