Estimating the Power Requirement of a Design of Fish Robot Based on Teleost Specie of Fish - Mackerel

Abstract:

The energy required to propel a biologically inspired robot in the form of a fish (mackerel) model using rubber (as the biomimetic material) for its joints is presented in this paper. It was found that the design will need approximately 0.81W of energy to handle the maximum dynamic torque of 0.0592850Nm that will be generated when using Futaba S3003 remote control servo motor to drive the peduncle. The fish robot designed was tested by making it to swim in a stationary body of water. It was found to be capable of swimming for about 30minutes compare to the calculated 2.7hrs hours using 4 built in 900mAh Li-Po battery (connected in parallel) while cruising at the speed of 0.985m/s.
