The high speed and low energy cost are two conflicting objectives in the motion optimization of bio-inspired underwater robots, but playing a very important role. To this end, this paper proposes an optimization strategy for swimming speed and power cost using an improved NSGA-II for a flexible robo…
The development of biomimetics and the demand for higher propulsion efficiency lead to more research in helical propulsion robots. This letter presents a novel sperm-inspired robot that utilizes flexible tail as propulsion and analyzes the motion performance. Firstly, the robot's propulsion system i
The complex and continuous undulation of fishtail facilitates extraordinary underwater motion performance for natural fish. For the widely used Multi-Joint robotic fish, a lot of joints are used to simulate continuum fishtail, resulting in some challenges, e.g., the mechanism complexity, friction lo
