Design, Fabrication, and Swimming Performance of a Free-Swimming Tuna-Mimetic Robot
High efficiency in cruising is a determining factor in developing tuna-mimetic robots. So far, a number of tuna-like robots have been made. Nevertheless, the University of Canterbury has developed its own tuna-like robot called UC-Ika 1 to investigate and to accordingly improve the swimming performa...

| description | High efficiency in cruising is a determining factor in developing tuna-mimetic
robots. So far, a number of tuna-like robots have been made. Nevertheless,
the University of Canterbury has developed its own tuna-like robot called UC-Ika 1 to
investigate and to accordingly improve the swimming performance of the biomimetic
swimming robots. In order to do so, the propulsion system of a tuna with respect to
its thrust and resistive forces is studied. Following that, the fish robot is designed
and fabricated considering the tuna propulsion system. The robot is then tested several
times to investigate its swimming performance. Comparison of the speed and
efficiency of UC-Ika 1 with those of other tuna-like robots shows a promising improvement
of cruising performance of UC-Ika 1. |
