Research and Development of Robotic Fish

Abstract

This paper describes the research and development of a robotic fish. Recently, the development of high performance robotic systems have multiplied across several fields. The development of a robotic system is based on the fusion of many technologies; such as mechanical engineering, electric/electronics engineering, telecommunication engineering, biology, physics, chemistry and so on. For the integration of several technologies we have to proceed from various points of view. The author has developed many such robotic systems, especially in the underwater field. This paper shows the current situation of research and development into robotic fish. This new field is attracting a lot of attention worldwide as we look to the next generation in robotics.
