Recently, there has been a growing interest in biomimetic underwater vehicles. Although a lot of research has been conducted in the area of dynamics and kinematics of robotic fish, most of the approaches solve the inverse problem by finding the required force the caudal fin should produce, in order for the robotic fish to follow a trajectory. Others use predefined undulatory body motions which usually...
Recently, there has been growing interest in biomimetic underwater vehicles. To exploit the full workspace of this kind of vehicles, depth control is needed and plays a critical role. Although depth control for large vehicles such as submarines has been addressed, this issue for low-cost, small-scale underwater vehicles has not received attention. In this paper, the depth control of a small robotic...
Modeling and control of underwater vehicles presents the challenge of sufficiently identifying acting hydrodynamic forces. Modern approaches assume the use of direct sensor measurements, which usually involves expensive and complicated setups. In this paper, a new approach to estimating hydrodynamic drag forces is proposed that does not employ a force sensor. The developed methodology involves processing...
We describe an interactive game for children, employing semi-autonomous color line-following mobile robots. The design and implementation of the mobile robots is described in detail. Although the robots have intelligence that allows them to follow color lines, users interact with them and provide high-level commands such as what color line to follow after reaching a node, and the speed at which they...
