Analysis of Parameters of Traveling Wave Impact on the Speed of Biomimetic Underwater Vehicle

Abstract

The paper is focused on presenting first steps in attempting to build model of the motion of the biomimetic underwater vehicle (BUV) based on experimental studies of traveling wave parameters on the robots speed. In the introduction the mechanical and electronic part of the fifth version of BUV called CyberFish is shortly presented as well as its enhanced motion principle based on traveling wave. The second paragraph covers experiment description and discusses its results.
