14 results about "Robot fish" patented technology

A robot fish is a type of bionic robot, which has the shape and locomotion of a living fish. Since the Massachusetts Institute of Technology first published research on them in 1989, there have been more than 400 articles published about robot fish. According to these reports, approximately 40 different types of robot fish have been built, with 30 designs having only the capability to flip and drift in water. Most robot fish are designed to emulate living fish which use Body-caudal fin (BCF) propulsion. BCF robot fish can be divided into three categories: Single Joint (SJ), Multi-Joint (MJ), and smart material-based design. The most important parts of researching and developing robot fish are advancing their control and navigation, enabling them to 'communicate' with their environment, making it possible for them to travel along a particular path, and to respond to commands to make their 'fins' flap.

Reconfigurable bionic robotic fish and combined bionic fish

The application discloses a reconfigurable bionic robot fish and a combined bionic fish. The reconfigurable bionic robot fish comprises a main body mechanism and a tail mechanism. The main body mechanism comprises a sealed shell and an electrically controlled permanent magnet device which are connected with each other. The electrically controlled permanent magnet device comprises a magnetized state and a demagnetized state. The tail mechanism is used to drive the sealed shell to move. The tail mechanism can drive the main body mechanism to realize movement with at least one degree of freedom. When the electrically controlled permanent magnet device is in the magnetized state, the electrically controlled permanent magnet device can be connected with other reconfigurable bionic robot fish or other driving components, so that the structure after splicing can realize flexible movement in multiple movement directions. When facing a narrow use environment, the electrically controlled permanent magnet device can be controlled to be in the demagnetized state, so that the components connected with the electrically controlled permanent magnet device through magnetism are released, and then the reconfigurable bionic robot fish can be restored to the original size, so as to adapt to the use requirement of the narrow environment.
