A New Design of Underwater Robot Fish System Using Shape Memory Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The bionic structure of an oscillatory propulsion system was discussed in this paper, This structure was contrived from sufficient analysis by the anatomical structure of a fish, Shape Memory Alloy was used to apply its power. Of course, we simplified the oscillatory propulsion system. Finally, we established the quantitative relationship among parameters depending on the torque balance equation.
