Design, Manufacturing and Motion Generation of a Shark Robot

摘要

This paper presents the designing and manufacturing method of a shark robot. This robot has been designed to have 6 degrees of freedom (DoF) to be capable of moving in 4 directions; longitudinal, pitch, yaw, and roll. The robot has 2 main parts; one stationary part that side fins and electrical components like batteries and circuits are installed in it, and one moving part which generates the motion. The robot moves in water, so its body is made of silicon and is completely sealed to avoid water penetration.
