  • Role of Flexibility in Robotic Fish
    ROLE OF FLEXIBILITY IN ROBOTIC FISH By Sanaz Bazaz Behbahani A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Electrical Engineering — Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT ROLE OF FLEXIBILITY IN ROBOTIC FISH By Sanaz Bazaz Behbahani Underwater creatures, especially fish, have received significant attention over the past several decades because of their fascinating swimming abilities and behaviors, which have inspired en- gineers to develop robots that propel and maneuver like real fish. This dissertation is focused on the role of flexibility in robotic fish performance, including the design, dynamic modeling, and experimental validation of flexible pectoral fins, flexible passive joints for pectoral fins, and fins with actively controlled stiffness. First, the swimming performance and mechanical efficiency of flexible pectoral fins, connected to actuator shafts via rigid links, are studied, where it is found that flexible fins demonstrate advan- tages over rigid fins in speed and efficiency at relatively low fin-beat frequencies, while the rigid fins outperform the flexible fins at higher frequencies. The presented model offers a promising tool for the design of fin flexibility and swimming gait, to achieve speed and efficiency objectives for the robotic fish. The traditional rigid joint for pectoral fins requires different speeds for power and recovery strokes in order to produce net thrust and consequently results in control complexity and low speed performance. To address this issue, a novel flexible passive joint is presented where the fin is restricted to rowing motion during both power and recovery strokes. This joint allows the pectoral fin to sweep back passively during the recovery stroke while it follows the prescribed motion of the actuator during the power stroke, which results in net thrust even under symmetric actuation for power and recovery strokes.
