Body Construction of Fish Robot in order to Gain Optimal Thrust Speed

摘要

In fish robot, hydrodynamic shape of body determined the ability to swim. However, sometimes the swimming gait not only depends on the body. It also depends on the frequency of tail undulation and body angle when tries to achieve fast swimming. Thrust speed becomes main goal in this research. Many variables which suspected as important variables influences the thrust speed were observed such as body shape, fin, and frequency of tail and acceleration of tail. Result of this research shows that there are some significant dependency among thrust speed, frequency of tail undulation and body shape. In some condition found that there was some optimal condition for all parameter which pace towards fastest thrust speed.
