A Novel Design and Implementation of a Lightweight Energy-Efficient Robotic Fish

Abstract:

Inspired by the astonishing ability of the fish, more and more researchers devote themselves to improving the performance of the underwater robotic propeller. In this paper, a novel design and a preliminary performance study of a lightweight robofish are presented. Firstly, the principle of the actuator by magnetomotive force is introduced. Secondly, the implementation of the biomimetic robofish is investigated. Finally, several expriments are conducted to explore the energy consumption of the magnetomoive force actuator and the affection of the kinematic parameters on the velocity. The experimental results reveal that the novel biomimetic robofish driven by magnetomotive force has a low energy consumption and shows good performance in swimming.
