Abstract:
This thesis was focusing on redesign and rebuilds a fish robot driven mechanism. In order to
achieve thunniform motion, we proposed tilted disc mechanism to adjust heaving amplitude.
The robot's mathematical modeling was created and its simulations were compared to various
experimental results. However, our studies were limited to straight line motion with constant depth.
By varying heaving amplitude and frequency, the robot's speed, acceleration and deceleration
were record. We also developed method to analyze the robot's motion using image processing.
