FishSim uses single-motor tendon drive for biomimetic fish propulsion

1 reports · 1 sources

Research presented by Guyuehome demonstrates the FishSim biomimetic robotic fish propulsion approach: a single motor drives two crossed elastic tendons, combined with a five-coefficient stateless fluid model, turning propulsion control into an identifiable chain. The report states that in comparisons of simulated and real swimming speeds across eight frequencies, the trajectory error after identification dropped from 592 mm to 91 mm. The article also discusses the sensitivity of the fluid model coefficients and notes that the turning experiments have limitations.
