Design and Development of Robotic Fish Swarm Based Coast Monitoring System

Abstract

Regular monitoring and observation of sea coast is a challenging problem in context of critical applications like defense, detection of oil spills, chemical and biological observations. Automated coast monitoring systems could play a vital role when round the clock monitoring is a prime concern. In this paper, we propose an autonomous coast monitoring system using robotic fish. This paper focuses on design and construction of a single robotic fish, as well as the architecture of such an autonomous coast monitoring system capable of tactical surveillance. Multiple fish model is simulated using VRML in MATLAB wherein the behavior and effectiveness of the design is studied.
