Abstract

Teleost species of fish mostly move with their peduncle. They are the fastest moving underwater creature. In this work, focus is specifically on the algorithm that was used for propelling a design of a robotic fish based on Mackerel in a straight swimming motion. The approach used is fundamentally called built in motion pattern algorithm as against follow the leader approach and mathematically generated serpentine motion used in hyper-redundant robot motion control strategies. The design requires just 3 actuators (RC servomotors) that are controlled using Microchip PIC18F4520 microcontroller. The 3 PWM controlling the motors are dynamically adjusted to be at fixed phase to each other at all times. This design was able to produce a travelling wave which propels the robot forward. Though not a very flexible implementation in terms of dynamically reprogramming the robot firmware while executing code, like the other methods that involve onboard mathematical position generation, it can however save battery life. This method works perfectly because of the unique design of the robot hardware. A field test yield 1/3 of the speed (3.66 km/h) of a life Mackerel.
