Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) outfitted with manipulators are useful for performing various tasks. As the AUVs manipulate tools, they deviate from neutral buoyancy, and must constantly actuate to maintain depth and orientation. This results in large energy consumption. Furthermore, AUVs cont
Three-dimensionally (3D) maneuverable robotic fish are highly desirable due to their ability to explore and survey the underwater environment. Existing depth control mechanisms are typically focused on using either compressed air or a piston to generate changes in volume. However, this often makes t
Three-dimensionally (3D) maneuverable robotic fish are highly desirable due to their abilities to explore and survey the underwater environment. Existing depth control mechanism is focused on using compressed air or piston to generate volume change, which makes the system bulky and impractical in a…
