Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomimetic robots, and more particularly to a highly maneuverable manta ray-like biomimetic fish based on the combined adjustment of buoyancy and center of gravity, and its diving, buoyancy, and obstacle avoidance control method. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to conventional underwater robots, biomimetic robotic fish offer advantages such as high efficiency, high maneuverability, and high stealth, making them suitable for various complex scenarios. Currently, the industry has invented various manta ray-like biomimetic robotic fish. For example, Chinese invention CN202210995754.X discloses a manta ray-like biomimetic fish and its buoyancy adjustment method, which includes a base component and pectoral fins. The pectoral fins are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base component via variable-volume transition components. The transition components are closed cavity structures composed of transition plates and flexible skin, filled with oil and equipped with a drive mechanism to control the movement of the pectoral fins. A control system and a buoyancy adjustment mechanism are installed on the middle partition of the base component. The buoyancy adjustment mechanism changes the volume of the flexible skin in the transition component by controlling the amount of oil in the transition component, thereby changing the buoyancy of the biomimetic fish. Chinese invention CN202311227974.9 discloses a manta ray-inspired soft-bodied underwater vehicle that utilizes pectoral and caudal fin flapping, gravity gliding, and propeller propulsion. Based on the shape and function of a manta ray, it adds gravity buoyancy adjustment and propeller propulsion to the existing pectoral and caudal fin flapping capabilities. The vehicle uses the flapping of its left and right pectoral fins to achieve forward swimming and turning movements; it uses gravity buoyancy adjustment to achieve gliding movements; and during flapping and gliding movements, it uses the interaction between its caudal fin and water flow to adjust its pitch attitude. Chinese invention CN202310513000.0 discloses a composite buoyancy adjustment device, an autonomous underwater vehicle, and its control method. This composite buoyancy adjustment device installs a buoyancy adjustment mechanism and a pitch adjustment mechanism in a sealed chamber, using piston movement to adjust the overall buoyancy, while simultaneously adjusting an additional counterweight to achieve pitch adjustment. However, the above inventions have the following shortcomings: The first invention, while achieving the buoyancy and descent of the bionic fish by adjusting the oil on both sides, suffers from the problem of not being able to precisely control the balance of oil on both sides, causing the bionic fish's center of gravity to shift during buoyancy adjustment. The second invention's pectoral fins utilize a flapping motion combining spanwise and chordal waves, resulting in relatively low thrust. Although adding a propeller propulsion device improves propulsion efficiency, it suffers from the same problem of high noise levels as traditional underwater robots. The third invention, while using a piston-type buoyancy adjustment mechanism to adjust buoyancy, requires additional counterweights for pitch adjustment, resulting in a large space requirement.
[0003] Compared to the highly maneuverable tail-fin-propelled bionic fish, the manta ray-like bionic fish proposed in existing patents primarily uses pectoral fins as a propulsion mechanism. While it offers strong stability during swimming, its maneuverability is relatively poor. Furthermore, the manta ray-like bionic fish is relatively large, making it difficult to avoid obstacles by relying solely on pectoral fin flapping for turning in place, especially during high-speed, straight-line navigation missions requiring emergency obstacle avoidance. In addition, while controlling buoyancy alone can adjust depth with low energy consumption, the adjustment speed is slow for large-scale depth adjustments. Moreover, the operation of the buoyancy adjustment device causes a shift in the overall center of gravity, making it impossible to adjust depth at a specified pitch posture. While using pectoral fin flapping combined with tail fin oscillation for depth adjustment is faster, it is difficult to stably maintain the manta ray-like bionic fish at a fixed depth, and this adjustment method is energy-intensive. Moreover, when manta ray-like bionic fish are needed for underwater operations, they are prone to structural damage when colliding with the surrounding environment during the flapping of their pectoral or caudal fins to land or take off safely underwater. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Objectives of this invention: Firstly, this invention aims to provide a highly maneuverable manta ray-like bionic fish that can jointly adjust buoyancy, center of gravity, and pectoral fins. Secondly, this invention provides a method for controlling the buoyancy and diving of a manta ray-like bionic fish that achieves rapid and accurate depth adjustment while reducing energy consumption during depth adjustment tasks, and enables soft landing and safe start-up on the seabed, effectively improving the safety of underwater operations and retrieval. Thirdly, this invention provides a highly maneuverable obstacle avoidance and steering control method when encountering obstacles and needing emergency obstacle avoidance.

The bionic shell is provided with inlet / drainage ports.
[0006] Furthermore, the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device includes a sealed chamber flange, a linear servo, and a counterweight unit.

[0007] Furthermore, the counterweight unit includes a first lithium battery pack, a fixed support, and a mounting plate. The fixed support and the mounting plate are connected by a connecting rod, and the first lithium battery pack is mounted on the fixed support.

[0011] The buoyancy control method for a highly maneuverable manta ray-like bionic fish based on the combined adjustment of buoyancy and center of gravity, as described in this invention, includes the following steps:
[0012] The initial state of the manta ray-like bionic fish is assumed to be a suspended state. In this state, the piston positions of the buoyancy and center of gravity adjustment devices in the left and right power supply compartments are x and x, respectively. l0 and x r0 The position corresponding to the middle of the piston stroke is defined as the positive direction when the piston pushes outward, and the maximum stroke positions are x and x. l0 +x max and x r0 +x max The minimum positions of the travel distances are x l0 -x max and x r0 -x max The lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is located at position x. a0 x a0 Corresponding to the middle position of the first lithium battery pack's travel distance, the forward movement of the lithium battery pack is defined as the positive direction, and the maximum travel position is x. a0 +x amax The minimum position of the journey is x a0 -x amax The flexible pectoral fins are in their initial horizontal position, and the current buoyancy f of the manta ray-like bionic fish is... 浮 Equal to the current gravity G;
[0013] The pectoral fins are controlled by two CPG control units; the CPG model is...
[0014]
[0015] Among them, a i b i and x i Let A represent the amplitude, offset, and phase of the i-th oscillator; i = 1, 2, 3, 4 are the phase oscillators corresponding to the left rear, left front, right rear, and right front servo motors of the manta ray bionic fish, respectively; i With B i These represent the expected amplitude and expected offset of the i-th oscillator, respectively; α i With β i These are the convergence coefficients for amplitude and offset, respectively; f i The oscillation frequency is μ. ij x is the coupling coefficient between the i-th oscillator and the j-th oscillator; j The current phase of the j-th oscillator; θ represents the phase difference between the i-th oscillator and the j-th oscillator. i Let be the servo angle output by the i-th phase oscillator;
[0016] Define distance-to-target depth thresholds ε1, ε2, and ε3, where ε1 is the distance-to-target depth threshold when the manta ray bionic fish switches from a rapid descent phase to a slow gliding descent phase or from a rapid ascent phase to a slow gliding ascent phase when performing a dive or ascent mission; ε2 is the distance-to-target depth threshold when the manta ray bionic fish switches from a slow gliding descent phase to a near-target fine-tuning descent phase or from a slow gliding ascent phase to a near-target fine-tuning ascent phase; and ε3 is the distance-to-target depth threshold when the manta ray bionic fish switches from a near-target fine-tuning descent phase or a near-target fine-tuning ascent phase to the target depth.
[0017] Through the target depth d tar With current depth d t The difference in magnitude |d tar -d t | Compare with the target depth thresholds ε1, ε2, and ε3, and then switch to different surfacing or descent phases.
[0018] Furthermore, when (d tar -d t When ) > 0, execute the dive mission;
[0019] When |d tar -d t When |≥ε1, the rapid descent phase begins. The piston moves linearly from the initial middle position to the minimum stroke position, the displacement decreases to its minimum value, and the buoyancy of the manta ray-like bionic fish is adjusted from neutral buoyancy to minimum buoyancy. At this time, the buoyancy f 浮When the gravitational force is less than G, the center of gravity shifts forward, and the manta ray-like biomimetic fish adjusts from a horizontal posture to a head-pointing-to-bottom posture, and dives towards the bottom in this posture, with the pectoral fins maintaining a fixed phase difference forward and backward. Fixed amplitude A i1 Fixed frequency f i1 Amplitude bias B with sum to zero i The flapping motion provides a vertical downward thrust along the direction the manta ray-like bionic fish is pointing, enabling it to dive rapidly until ε1 > |d. tar -d t |≥ε2;
[0020] When ε1>|d tar -d t When |≥ε2, the system enters a slow gliding descent phase. The CPG controller adjusts the pectoral fins to their initial positions, and the lithium battery pack of the center capsule's center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is positioned at x. adown for
[0021]
[0022] The center of gravity of the manta ray-like biomimetic fish gradually shifts backward, and when |d tar -d t When |=ε2, the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is adjusted to the minimum stroke position x. a0 -x amax The manta ray-like bionic fish's center of gravity returns to its initial central position. During this process, the manta ray-like bionic fish's pitch attitude changes from vertical downwards and upwards, eventually reaching a horizontal attitude. Maintaining minimal buoyancy, the manta ray-like bionic fish continues to descend. In the slow gliding descent phase, it decelerates downwards and gradually descends to a horizontal attitude until ε2 > |d. tar -d t |≥ε1;
[0023] When ε2>|d tar -d t When |≥ε3, the target fine-tuning descent phase begins. The pectoral fins maintain their initial horizontal position, and the pistons move linearly from their minimum stroke position to a position close to their minimum stroke position. The stroke position; simultaneously, the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment assist device is linearly moved to the position closest to the minimum stroke position. During the flight, the manta ray-like bionic fish maintains its center of gravity in the initial position and slowly descends in a horizontal posture until |d tar -d t |<ε3;
[0024] When |d tar -d tWhen | < ε3, the target depth stage begins. The piston moves to the middle position, and the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device moves linearly to the middle position. The manta ray-like bionic fish hovers at the target depth in a horizontal posture or achieves a soft landing on the seabed, and the mission is completed.
[0025] Furthermore, immediately (d tar -d t When ) < 0, determine the current distance D of the manta ray-like bionic fish from the bottom of the water. t Is the safe distance from the bottom of the water exceeded?
[0026] If D t If ξ < ξ, then the manta ray-like bionic fish maintains the initial position of its pectoral fins, and the piston moves linearly to near its maximum stroke position. The stroke position linearly moves the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment assist device to near the maximum stroke position. At the destination, the manta ray-like bionic fish slowly rises horizontally until it reaches position D. t >ξ;
[0027] When D t When the distance exceeds ξ, the manta ray-like bionic fish has exceeded the safe distance from the bottom of the water and is about to rise to the surface.
[0028] When |d tar -d t When |≥ε1, the rapid ascent phase begins, and the piston moves linearly from the middle position to the maximum stroke position. The buoyancy of the manta ray-like bionic fish is adjusted from neutral buoyancy to maximum buoyancy, at which point the buoyancy f 浮 When the force exceeds gravity G, the center of gravity shifts backward, and the manta ray-like bionic fish adjusts from a horizontal posture to a head-up, water-facing posture, and floats towards the surface. At this point, the manta ray-like bionic fish utilizes a designed CPG controller based on a phase oscillator to achieve a fixed phase difference between the flexible pectoral fins. Fixed amplitude A i1 Fixed frequency f i1 Amplitude bias B with sum to zero i The flapping motion provides the manta ray-like bionic fish with a vertical upward thrust along the direction its head is pointing, enabling the manta ray-like bionic fish to rise rapidly until ε1 > |d. tar -d t |≥ε2;
[0029] When ε1>|d tar -d t When |≥ε2, enter the slow gliding ascent phase, pectoral fins are adjusted to their initial positions, and the position of the lithium battery pack of the center capsule's center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is x. aup for
[0030]
[0031] During this process, the center of gravity of the manta ray-like bionic fish gradually shifts forward, and when |d tar -d t When |=ε2, the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is adjusted to the maximum stroke position x. a0 +x amax The manta ray-like bionic fish's center of gravity returns to its initial central position. During this process, the manta ray-like bionic fish's pitch attitude gradually changes from vertical upward to downward and finally reaches a horizontal attitude. Meanwhile, the manta ray-like bionic fish maintains maximum buoyancy and continues to rise, decelerating upward and gliding until it gradually rises to a horizontal attitude, until ε2>|d tar -d t |≥ε1;
[0032] When ε2>|d tar -d t When |≥ε1, the system enters the fine-tuning and upward movement phase close to the target. The pectoral fins maintain their initial horizontal position, and the piston moves linearly from its maximum stroke position to a position close to its maximum stroke position. Simultaneously, the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment assist device is linearly moved to near the maximum stroke position. During its journey, the manta ray-like bionic fish maintains its center of gravity in the initial position and slowly rises horizontally until |d tar -d t |<ε3;
[0033] When |d tar -d t When | < ε3, the target depth stage begins. The piston moves linearly to the middle position, the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device moves linearly to the middle position, and the manta ray-like bionic fish hovers at the target depth in a horizontal posture, completing the mission.

The first lithium battery pack mounting plate 116 is fixed to the internal thread end of the six circumferentially distributed connecting rods 117 by six circumferentially distributed screws, thus fixing the position of the first lithium battery pack 118.The center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device 11 uses the first lithium battery pack as a counterweight. By controlling the first linear servo 113 to push and pull the first lithium battery pack 118, the center of gravity of the manta ray-like bionic fish is adjusted. When the first linear servo 113 pushes the first lithium battery pack 118, the center of gravity of the manta ray-like bionic fish moves forward, its head tilts downward, and its pitch angle decreases. When the first linear servo 113 pulls the first lithium battery pack 118, the center of gravity of the manta ray-like bionic fish moves backward, its head tilts upward, and its pitch angle increases. The center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device 11 works in conjunction with the left and right buoyancy center of gravity adjustment devices. After the left and right buoyancy center of gravity adjustment devices adjust the buoyancy, the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device 11 plays an auxiliary role in adjusting the center of gravity so that the manta ray-like bionic fish swims or glides in the desired pitch posture.

The cylindrical ends of the intermediate compartment 42 are machined with symmetrical flat surfaces, which are used to fix the first power supply compartment intermediate compartment 42 by contacting the bionic shell 6. The outer end face of the first power supply compartment rear drainage flange 43 is provided with four threaded holes, which are connected to the rear servo bracket 22 by screws. The edge of the first power supply compartment rear drainage flange 43 is provided with six circumferentially distributed circular through holes. The first power supply compartment rear drainage flange 43 and the first power supply compartment intermediate compartment 42 are connected by six circumferentially distributed screws. The first power supply compartment rear drainage flange 43 is provided with a waist-shaped hole in the middle, which is used by the first buoyancy center of gravity adjustment device 45 to drain the water in the first power supply compartment intermediate compartment 42.
[0069] like Figure 6As shown, the first buoyancy center of gravity adjustment device 44 includes a second linear servo bracket 441, a second linear servo 442, a first piston 443, a first piston sealing ring 444, a second lithium battery pack fixing support 445, a second lithium battery pack mounting plate 446, a second lithium battery pack 447, and a second lithium battery pack connecting rod 448. The second linear servo bracket 441 consists of a circular plate with a central hole and an L-shaped fixing plate. The circular plate of the second linear servo bracket 441 has six evenly distributed circular through holes along its edge. The second linear servo bracket 441 is connected to the first power supply compartment sealing flange 41 by six evenly distributed screws. The second linear servo 442 is mounted on the L-shaped fixing plate of the second linear servo bracket 441 and connected to the second linear servo bracket 441 by screws and nuts. The first piston 443 consists of a piston and a piston rod. The piston rod has external threads near its outer end for threaded connection with the second linear servo 442, and is locked by a lock nut. The first piston 443 achieves a dynamic seal with the intermediate compartment 42 of the first power supply compartment through a first piston sealing ring 444. The first piston 443 has six circumferentially distributed threaded holes on its inner end face, while the second lithium battery pack mounting plate 445 has a circular hole at its center for the piston rod of the first piston 443 to pass through. The second lithium battery pack mounting plate 445 has six circumferentially distributed through holes and six circumferentially distributed circular grooves for fixing the second lithium battery pack 447. The second lithium battery pack mounting plate 446 has a circular hole at its center for the piston rod of the first piston 443 to pass through. The second lithium battery pack mounting plate 446 has six circumferentially distributed through holes and six circumferentially distributed circular grooves for fixing the second lithium battery pack 447. The second lithium battery pack 447 and six circumferentially distributed connecting rods 448 of the second lithium battery pack are placed between the second lithium battery pack mounting plate 445 and the second lithium battery pack mounting plate 446. The second battery pack connecting rod 448 has an external thread at one end and an internal thread at the other end. The second lithium battery pack connecting rod 448 is connected to the second lithium battery pack fixing support 445 and the first piston 443 through the external thread. The second lithium battery pack mounting plate 446 is fixed to one end of the internal thread of the second lithium battery pack connecting rod 446 through six circumferentially distributed screws, and fixes the position of the second lithium battery pack 443.The first buoyancy and center of gravity adjustment device 44 uses the second lithium battery pack 448 and the first piston 443 as counterweights. By controlling the second linear servo 442 to push and pull the second lithium battery pack 447 and the first piston 443, the volume and center of gravity inside the left power supply compartment 4 are changed. When the second linear servo 442 pushes the second lithium battery pack 447 and the first piston 443, the internal volume of the left power supply compartment 4 increases, the displacement increases, and thus the buoyancy of the left power supply compartment 4 increases. At the same time, the center of gravity of the left power supply compartment 4 shifts backward. When the second linear servo 442 pulls the second lithium battery pack 447 and the first piston 443, the internal volume of the left power supply compartment 4 decreases, the displacement decreases, and thus the buoyancy of the left power supply compartment 4 decreases. At the same time, the center of gravity of the left power supply compartment 4 shifts forward.
[0070] The right power supply compartment 3 and the left power supply compartment 4 have the same structure and are symmetrically distributed. By jointly adjusting the buoyancy and center of gravity adjustment devices of the left and right power supply compartments 4 and 3, when both pistons and lithium battery packs move forward, the overall displacement of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish decreases, and the buoyancy decreases. At the same time, due to the forward shift of the center of gravity, the head of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish tilts downward, and the pitch angle decreases. When both pistons and lithium battery packs move backward, the overall displacement of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish increases, and the buoyancy increases. At the same time, due to the backward shift of the center of gravity, the head of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish tilts upward, and the pitch angle increases. By jointly adjusting the buoyancy and center of gravity adjustment devices of the left and right power supply compartments 4 and 3, as well as the center adjustment auxiliary device 11 of the central compartment, it is possible to adjust the buoyancy and adjust the pitch angle of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish simultaneously.

The bionic shell 6 is made of lightweight, high-strength materials to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. The upper bionic shell 62 and the lower bionic shell 61 are connected by threaded sleeves and screws. The overall cross-section of the bionic shell 6 is an airfoil-like cross-section. A three-in-one antenna 63 is installed on the upper bionic shell 62 for connecting to the LoRa module 124, GPS module 126, and microcomputer 122 in the central cabin to realize the transmission and reception of wireless signals.
[0072] like Figure 8As shown, the lower bionic housing 61 is equipped with a camera and infrared ranging sensor bracket 64, a waterproof camera 66, a first infrared ranging sensor 67, a second infrared ranging sensor 68, an ultrasonic ranging sensor bracket 65, and an ultrasonic ranging sensor 69. The waterproof camera 66, the first infrared ranging sensor 67, and the second infrared ranging sensor 68 are fixed to the camera and infrared ranging sensor bracket 64 using waterproof adhesive. The camera and infrared ranging sensor bracket 64 is fixed to the front of the lower bionic housing 61 with screws.

The ultrasonic ranging sensor 69 is used to measure the distance of the bionic fish from the bottom of the water.
[0073] The buoyancy control method for a highly maneuverable manta ray-like bionic fish based on the combined adjustment of buoyancy and center of gravity, as described in this invention, includes the following steps:
[0074] By combining the buoyancy and center of gravity adjustment devices of the left and right power supply compartments, the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device of the central compartment, and the left and right flexible pectoral fins, the biomimetic fish's surfacing and diving operations are realized, thereby completing the adjustment to a specified depth, and enabling soft landing and safe start-up underwater.
[0075] The manta ray-like bionic fish uses a depth sensor and an ultrasonic ranging sensor to obtain the current depth d of the manta ray-like bionic fish in real time. t and the current distance D from the bottom of the water t ;
[0076] The initial state of the manta ray-like bionic fish is assumed to be a suspended state. In this state, the positions of the first piston of the first buoyancy center of gravity adjustment device in the left power supply compartment and the second piston of the second buoyancy center of gravity adjustment device in the right power supply compartment are x and x, respectively. l0 and x r0 These correspond to the midpoints of the strokes of the first and second pistons, respectively. The outward pushing direction of the first and second pistons is defined as positive, and the maximum stroke positions are x and x, respectively. l0 +x max and x r0 +x max The minimum positions of the travel distances are x l0 -x max and x r0 -x max The lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is located at position x. a0 x a0Corresponding to the middle position of the first lithium battery pack's travel distance, the forward movement of the lithium battery pack is defined as the positive direction, and the maximum travel position is x. a0 +x amax The minimum position of the journey is x a0 -x amax The flexible pectoral fins are in their initial horizontal position, and the current buoyancy f of the manta ray-like bionic fish is... 浮 Equal to the current gravity G;
[0077] The manta ray-like bionic fish uses a depth sensor and an ultrasonic ranging sensor to obtain the current depth d of the manta ray-like bionic fish in real time. t and the current distance D from the bottom of the water t The preset target depth is d. tar ;
[0078] like Figure 12 As shown, based on the difference d between the target depth and the current depth tar -d t Divided into surfacing missions and diving missions, (d tar -d t When ) < 0, the ascent task is executed. tar -d t The dive mission will be executed when the 0 value is greater than 0.
[0079] This invention divides the manta ray-like bionic fish diving control method into a rapid diving phase, a slow gliding diving phase, a target approach fine-tuning ascent phase, and a target depth arrival phase. The ascent control method is divided into a rapid ascent phase, a slow gliding ascent phase, a target approach fine-tuning ascent phase, and a target depth arrival phase. Distance thresholds ε1, ε2, and ε3 are defined, where ε1 is the distance threshold for the manta ray-like bionic fish switching from the rapid diving phase to the slow gliding diving phase or from the rapid ascent phase to the slow gliding ascent phase when performing a diving or ascent task; ε2 is the distance threshold for the manta ray-like bionic fish switching from the slow gliding diving phase to the target approach fine-tuning diving phase or from the slow gliding ascent phase to the target approach fine-tuning ascent phase; and ε3 is the distance threshold for the manta ray-like bionic fish switching from the target approach fine-tuning diving phase or the target approach fine-tuning ascent phase to the target depth arrival phase. The difference between the target depth and the current depth, |d|, is used to determine the distance. tar -d t The distance is compared with the target depth thresholds ε1, ε2, and ε3, and then different ascent or descent phases are switched, respectively, as shown by |d. tar -d t |≥ε1、ε1>|d tar -d t |≥ε2、ε2>|d tar -d t |≥ε3 and d tar -dt |<ε3.
[0080] like Figure 15 As shown, the present invention relates to a phase oscillator-based CPG controller for controlling the movement of the left and right flexible pectoral fins of a manta ray-like bionic fish; the CPG controller includes four CPG control units, two of which are located on the left pectoral fin and the other two on the right pectoral fin; the CPG model is as follows:
[0081]
[0082] Among them, a i b i and x i Let A represent the amplitude, offset, and phase of the i-th oscillator; i = 1, 2, 3, 4 are the phase oscillators corresponding to the left rear, left front, right rear, and right front servo motors of the manta ray bionic fish, respectively; i With B i These represent the expected amplitude and expected offset of the i-th oscillator, respectively; α i With β i The convergence coefficients for amplitude and offset, respectively, determine the state variable a. i and b i Convergence speed; f i The oscillation frequency is μ. ij The coupling coefficient between the i-th oscillator and the j-th oscillator determines the strength of the coupling between the corresponding oscillators. θ represents the phase difference between the i-th oscillator and the j-th oscillator. i Let θ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4 be the final output angle of the servo motor from the i-th phase oscillator. These phase oscillators in the CPG topology are coupled to each other, simplifying the coupling parameters of the model and reducing the computational complexity. θ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4, as outputs of the CPG network topology, are converted into PWM signals by a pulse width modulation (PWM) generator, causing the servo motor to swing to the specified angle.
[0083] When the difference d between the specified target depth and the current depth tar -d t When it is greater than zero, that is, (d tar -d t When ) > 0, execute the dive mission; first determine the distance |d| between the current depth and the target depth of the manta ray-like bionic fish. tar -d t Is it less than the current depth and the distance from the bottom D? t This means determining whether the target depth is within the maximum diving depth. If the target depth exceeds the maximum diving depth, i.e., |d tar -d t |>D tThen the manta ray-like bionic fish dives to the bottom and soft-lands. At this point, the target depth is equal to the depth of the bottom, i.e., d. tar =D t +d t Then, based on the difference d between the target depth and the current depth... tar -d t The comparison with the target depth thresholds ε1, ε2, and ε3 switches to the corresponding descent phase. If the target depth does not exceed the maximum descent depth, i.e., |d tar -d t |<D t It is directly based on the difference d between the target depth and the current depth. tar -d t | Compare with the target depth thresholds ε1, ε2, and ε3 to switch to the corresponding descent phase.
[0084] When |d tar -d t When |≥ε1, that is, the difference between the target depth and the current depth |d tar -d t When the distance to the target depth threshold ε1 is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters a rapid descent phase. During this phase, the first and second pistons move linearly from their initial intermediate positions to their minimum travel positions x. l0 -x max and x r0 -x max As the overall displacement is reduced to a minimum, the buoyancy of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish is adjusted from neutral buoyancy to minimum buoyancy. At this point, the buoyancy f 浮 When the force is less than gravity G, the center of gravity shifts forward, and the manta ray-like bionic fish adjusts from a horizontal posture to a head-pointing-to-bottom posture, then dives into the water in this posture. At this time, the manta ray-like bionic fish uses a designed CPG controller based on a phase oscillator to achieve a fixed phase difference between the flexible pectoral fins. Fixed amplitude A i1 Fixed frequency f i1 Amplitude bias B with sum to zero i The flapping motion provides a vertical downward thrust along the direction the manta ray-like bionic fish is pointing, enabling it to dive rapidly until ε1 > |d. tar -d t |≥ε2, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters a slow gliding and diving phase.
[0085] When ε1>|d tar -d tWhen |≥ε2, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters a slow gliding descent phase. During this phase, the CPG controller adjusts the flexible pectoral fins to their initial position. At this time, the position of the lithium battery pack in the center cabin's center-of-gravity adjustment auxiliary device changes from the middle position x as the descent depth increases. a0 Gradually move linearly to the position of minimum travel x a0 -x amax This process is a dynamic adjustment, and the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment aid during the slow gliding descent phase is defined as x. adown ,
[0086]
[0087] During this process, as the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device moves backward, the center of gravity of the manta ray-like bionic fish gradually shifts backward, and when |d tar -d t When |=ε2, the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is adjusted to the minimum stroke position x. a0 -x amax The manta ray-like bionic fish's center of gravity returns to its initial central position. During this process, its pitch attitude gradually changes from vertical downwards to upwards and finally reaches a horizontal position. Maintaining minimal buoyancy, the manta ray continues to descend. Combining the changes in pitch attitude, the initial velocity provided during the rapid descent phase, and water resistance, the manta ray decelerates downwards and gradually descends to a horizontal position during the slow gliding descent phase, until ε2 > |d|. tar -d t |≥ε1, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the fine-tuning descent phase as it approaches the target.
[0088] When ε2>|d tar -d t When |≥ε3, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the target-approaching fine-tuning descent phase. During this phase, the flexible pectoral fins maintain their initial horizontal position. At this time, the first and second pistons move from their minimum stroke positions x... l0 -x max and x r0 -x max Linearly move to the position closest to the minimum travel distance. Trip Location and As the overall displacement increases from its minimum value, the buoyancy of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish also increases from its minimum buoyancy. At this point, the buoyancy f... 浮 Slightly less than the gravitational force G, while linearly moving the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment assist device to near the minimum travel position. Trip Location The manta ray-like bionic fish maintains its center of gravity in the initial position and slowly descends horizontally until |d tar -d t |<ε3, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the stage of reaching the target depth.
[0089] When |d tar -d t When | < ε3, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the target depth stage. At this time, the first and second pistons move linearly to the intermediate position x. l0 and x r0 The position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is linearly moved to the middle position x. a0 The manta ray-like bionic fish hovers horizontally at the target depth or achieves a soft landing on the seabed, thus completing the mission.
[0090] When the difference d between the specified target depth and the current depth tar -d t When less than zero, that is (d tar -d t When ) < 0, the ascent task is executed; since the manta ray-like bionic fish's large pectoral fins pose a risk of structural damage due to collisions with the surrounding environment when flapping underwater, the current distance D of the manta ray-like bionic fish from the bottom is first determined. t Does it exceed the safe distance ξ from the bottom of the water? If D t If ξ < ξ, then the manta ray-like bionic fish maintains the initial position of its pectoral fins, and the first and second pistons move linearly to near their maximum stroke position. Trip Location and The position of the lithium battery pack in the center of gravity adjustment assist device is linearly moved to near the maximum travel position. Trip Location The manta ray-like bionic fish slowly rises horizontally until it reaches D. t >ξ;
[0091] When D t When the distance exceeds ξ, the manta ray-like bionic fish has exceeded the safe distance from the bottom of the water, and then the difference between the target depth and the current depth is determined by |d. tar -d t |The comparison with the target depth thresholds ε1, ε2, and ε3 switches to the corresponding ascent phase.
[0092] When |d tar -d t When |≥ε1, that is, the difference between the target depth and the current depth |d tar -d tWhen the distance to the target depth threshold ε1 is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters a rapid ascent phase. During this phase, the first and second pistons move linearly from their initial intermediate positions to their maximum travel position x. l0 +x max and x r0 +x max As the overall displacement increases to its maximum value, the buoyancy of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish is adjusted from neutral buoyancy to maximum buoyancy. At this point, the buoyancy f 浮 When the force exceeds gravity G, the center of gravity shifts backward, and the manta ray-like bionic fish adjusts from a horizontal posture to a head-up, water-facing posture, and floats towards the surface. At this point, the manta ray-like bionic fish utilizes a designed CPG controller based on a phase oscillator to achieve a fixed phase difference between the flexible pectoral fins. Fixed amplitude A i1 Fixed frequency f i1 Amplitude bias B with sum to zero i The flapping motion provides the manta ray-like bionic fish with a vertical upward thrust along the direction its head is pointing, enabling the manta ray-like bionic fish to rise rapidly until ε1 > |d. tar -d t |≥ε2, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters a slow gliding and surfacing phase.
[0093] When ε1>|d tar -d t When |≥ε2, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters a slow gliding ascent phase. During this phase, the pectoral fins adjust to their initial position. At this time, the position of the lithium battery pack of the center-of-gravity adjustment auxiliary device in the central cabin changes from the middle position x as the ascent depth decreases. a0 Gradually move linearly to the position of maximum travel x a0 +x amax This process involves dynamic adjustment. The position of the lithium battery pack in the center of gravity adjustment aid during the slow gliding and ascent phase is defined as x. aup ,
[0094]
[0095] During this process, as the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device moves forward, the center of gravity of the manta ray-like bionic fish gradually shifts forward, and when |d tar -d t When |=ε2, the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is adjusted to the maximum stroke position x. a0 +x amaxThe manta ray-like bionic fish's center of gravity returns to its initial central position. During this process, its pitch attitude gradually changes from vertical upward to downward and eventually reaches a horizontal position. Maintaining maximum buoyancy, the manta ray-like bionic fish continues to rise. Combining the changes in its pitch attitude, the initial velocity provided during the rapid ascent phase, and water resistance, the manta ray-like bionic fish, in its slow gliding and diving phase, decelerates upward and gradually rises to a horizontal position until ε2 > |d|. tar -d t |≥ε3, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the fine-tuning and surfacing phase as it approaches the target.
[0096] When ε2>|d tar -d t When |≥ε1, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the approach-target fine-tuning ascent phase. During this phase, the pectoral fins maintain their initial horizontal position, and the first and second pistons move from their maximum stroke positions x... l0 +x max and x r0 +x max Linearly move to the position closest to the maximum travel. Trip Location and As the overall displacement decreases from its maximum value, the buoyancy of the manta ray-shaped bionic fish also decreases from its maximum buoyancy. At this point, the buoyancy f... 浮 Slightly greater than gravity G, while linearly moving the position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment assist device to near the maximum travel position. Trip Location The manta ray-like bionic fish maintains its center of gravity in the initial position and slowly rises horizontally until |d tar -d t |<ε3, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the stage of reaching the target depth.
[0097] When |d tar -d t When | < ε3, the manta ray-like bionic fish enters the target depth stage. At this time, the first and second pistons move linearly to the intermediate position x. l0 and x r0 The position of the lithium battery pack of the center of gravity adjustment auxiliary device is linearly moved to the middle position x. a0 The manta ray-like bionic fish hovered horizontally at the target depth, mission accomplished.
[0098] The obstacle avoidance control method for a highly maneuverable manta ray-like bionic fish based on the combined adjustment of buoyancy and center of gravity, as described in this invention, includes the following steps:
[0099] The obstacle avoidance and steering control method of the highly maneuverable manta ray-like bionic fish is divided into a highly maneuverable large-angle steering mode and a highly maneuverable small-angle steering mode, specifically including a highly maneuverable large-angle left turn mode, a highly maneuverable small-angle left turn mode, a highly maneuverable large-angle right turn mode, and a highly maneuverable small-angle right turn mode. The preset distances to obstacles output by the infrared ranging sensors at the left and right front of the manta ray-like bionic fish are D, respectively. lt and D rt The manta ray-like bionic fish is currently swimming forward at a linear speed of v. t The speed threshold for the manta ray-like bionic fish to perform a high-maneuverability obstacle avoidance and turning task is v1. Distance thresholds dis1 and dis2 are defined, where dis1 is the distance threshold for the manta ray-like bionic fish to enter a high-maneuverability large-angle turning mode, and dis2 is the distance threshold for the manta ray-like bionic fish to enter a high-maneuverability small-angle turning mode. The minimum distance from the current obstacle to the obstacle is min(D). lt D rt The distance to the obstacle is compared with obstacle thresholds dis1 and dis2, and then different high-maneuverability steering modes are switched. The preset parameters of the CPG controller in high-maneuverability obstacle avoidance and steering tasks are a fixed phase difference.
