Problem Statement

Objectives

Program autonomous obstacle avoidance mode

Redesign of tail system for a robust system requiring minimal maintenance

Improve aesthetics of the fish

The objective of this project is to create an aquatic robot, dubbed RoboFish, that is capable of obstacle avoidance (1.5 body lengths apart) using onboard sensors and completely autonomous control. The McKibben muscles will be used in order to provide locomotion.

Background

Remote Controlled

Limited buoyancy

Limited turning motion

Uses McKibben muscles

Run time of 1 hour
