Dynamic modeling and experimental analysis of a two-ray undulatory fin robot

IROS 2015poster

Bio-inspired undulatory fin propulsion holds considerable potential for endowing robotic underwater vehicles with low-speed manoeuvrability and stable station-keeping. Robotic fins typically comprise a number of serially arranged and individually actuated “fin rays”, interconnected by a membrane-lik…

Multi-arm robotic swimmer actuated by antagonistic SMA springs

IROS 2015poster

The present paper considers the modeling, control, development and experimental validation of bio-inspired multiarm underwater robotic swimmers actuated by compliant actuating elements, in the context of the soft robotics paradigm. Each one of the swimmer's compliant arms is actuated at its base by…
