Design, Modeling and Direction Control of a Wire-Driven Robotic Fish Based on a 2-DoF Crank–Slider Mechanism

ICRA 2026poster

Robotic fish have attracted growing attention in recent years owing to their biomimetic design and potential applications in environmental monitoring and biological surveys. Among robotic fish employing the Body–Caudal Fin (BCF) locomotion pattern, motor-driven actuation is widely adopted. Some appr…

3D Detection and Tracking of a Moving Object by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle With a Multibeam Imaging Sonar: Toward Continuous Observation of Marine Life

RA-L 2024

Biologging has been the prevalent method for studying the ecology and behavior of aquatic life. However, it has problems of operational inconvenience and stress on organisms. Recently, research towards remote tracking using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) has been gaining attention, particular

Accurate and Efficient Seafloor Observations With Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles: Theory and Experiments in a Hydrothermal Vent Field

RA-L 2019

This letter reports the sea experiments of a navigation method for multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that relies on a single high-performance AUV, which can estimate its self-state (position and pose) accurately without any support. In the method, there isa parent AUV and child AUVs. Wh
