Development of a Micro Swimming Robot Using Optimised Giant Magnetostrictive Thin Films

A fish-like swimming micro robot is developed using an optimised fin actuator made of giant magnetostrictive films (GMFs). The force oscillation dynamic model of a GMF cantilever with variable cross-section area is derived, and the propulsive model of the fish robot in liquid is established. A discr...
