Octopus-Inspired Robot for Underwater Exploration in Military Internet of Battle Operations and Surveillance

摘要

Many modern roboticists, particularly those who model themselves after the octopus, draw inspiration from biology to construct unique robotic structures. This research expands this trend by using a biomimetic technique to create soft robots that imitate the complicated motion patterns of octopus tentacles. This method of propulsion is studied using a dynamic model of a robot with four articulated arms. This project consists of modeling, fabricating, and building an autonomous octopus robot to perform underwater investigation tasks with the aid of inspiring its movement from the octopus. The experimental results show that the adopted principle for the design works appropriately and is suitable for underwater exploration and tactical surveillance.
