BIONIC ROBOT FISH GRADIENT RELIABILITY OPTIMIZATION DESIGN BASED ON IMPROVED QUANTUM EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM by LI MingHao, QIAO Jie, FAN JiaYi, WANG BaoXin

“…In order to improve the working reliability of the biomimetic robotic fish, put forward a gradient reliability robust optimization design method method which is applied to the biomimetic robotic fish.Taken the bionic killer whale as the research object, based on the flapping wing motion theory, the dynamic load of the bionic killer whale was obtained by using MATLAB.Based on the theory of reliability sensitivity design, robust design theory and the theory of performance degradation, established optimization evaluation function of bionic killer whale, obtained the influence of the bionic killer whale’s design variables to reliability sensitivity gradient.The improved quantum evolutionary algorithm was used to optimize the design, the optimal solution of caudal fin propulsion mechanism was obtained.The results show that the absolute value of sensitivity of the design variables is decreased, the reliability is improved and the structure is more robust. …”
