The invention discloses a 
sea turtle four-fin 
flapping imitating type autonomous 
underwater robot which comprises a body part, a head part and a 
tail part. The front side and the back side of the body part are connected with moving fins through fin limbs. Each 
flapping fin is driven and controlled independently. The head part and the 
tail part are respectively arranged in front of and behind the body part. Full-view fisheye lenses for acquiring front images and upper images are respectively arranged in the head part and on the body part. A height measuring 
sonar for acquiring height and a 
pressure sensor for acquiring depth are arranged in the head part. A 
global position system (GPS) antenna for locating is arranged in the 
tail part, and accordingly 
water area conditions in front and on the upper portion can be monitored in real time, height data between the 
robot and the 
seabed can be measured in real time, and obstacle conditions and the like in front can be monitored. The 
underwater robot is further provided with an 
attitude and heading reference system (AHRS), self attitude can be sensed in real time, 
active control of attitude and heading can be achieved, and the 
underwater robot has the advantages that a 
driving mode of 
sea turtle four-fin 
flapping imitating pushing is used, maneuverability is good, 
noise is low, structure is simple, and implementation is simple.
