Abstract

Swimming mode utilizing oscillating pectoral fins possess characteristics of high efficiency, high stability, high maneuverability, and higher swimming velocity compared with other swimming modes of fish. Broad application prospect and important research value are shown by robotic fish propelled by oscillating pectoral fins. The research on bionic fish of this kind has become a hot pot. In this chapter, structure characteristics and pectoral fin motion deformation during oscillation of the nature sample, cownose ray, are analyzed. Main structure parameters of the sample cownose ray and simple mathematical model of oscillating movement of the pectoral fin are obtained. Finally, a robotic fish propelled by oscillating pectoral foils featuring with organic combination of form bionic and function bionic is developed.
