Research and Simulation of a flexible robotic fish tail fin propulsion system

Abstract

This article uses a flexible crescent caudal fin tuna as the research object, sets up the robot fish physical model ,researches the propulsion and advancing speed of the model, discusses forward speed, sliding and swing amplitude, frequency and phase to the flexible tail fin propulsive performance, and uses MATLAB to simulate, motion simulation is consistent with the way to achieve the real movement of the fish.
