Abstract :
This paper describes a preliminary prototype of a fishlike biomimetic underwater robot. The goal is to develop a semiautonomous vehicle for environmental monitoring in shallow waters. We describe the vehicle and discuss the environmental factors that have influenced the design. Experimental results illustrate the performance of the prototype.
