Abstract

The invention discloses a floatable and sinkable micro robot fish which relates to the technology of bionic robots; the robot fish is used for amusement and comprises a fish body, a fish tail and a floating and sinking propeller. A fixed skeleton is arranged in the fish body; a control module, a communication module, a rechargeable battery, an infrared sensor, a tail motor, a filler and other components are fixed on the skeleton; the skeleton is wrapped with a whole-fish-shape fish skin; the tail motor is connected with a swinging joint and used for the forward boosting and the direction control of the robot fish; the infrared sensor provides information about the obstruction in front of and below the robot fish; the filler is beneficial to keep the outer appearance of the robot fish; the fish tail is essentially composed of tail fins; the floating and sinking propeller is used for controlling the floating and sinking of the robot fish. The floatable and sinkable micro robot fish can be set in a plurality of sports modes including remote control, obstacle avoidance, preset programming and has the advantages of simple production, lifelike outer appearance and strong appreciation quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bionic robots, in particular to a miniature snorkelable toy robot fish. Background technique [0002] Before the 1990s, the research on fish bionics mainly focused on theory. With the in-depth research on fish propulsion mechanism and the development of robot technology, MIT successfully developed the world's first real bionic machine in 1994. Since then, combined with new developments in bionics, electronic technology, material science and control technology, research on bionic robotic fish has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of robotics. [0003] Abroad, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries have carried out many research projects on bionic robot fish, and produced a batch of experimental prototypes. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a 1.2-meter-long bionic tuna and a 0.8-meter-long bionic barracuda based on the proposed "jet propulsion theo...
