Abstract
Underwater robotics is one of the most challenging field of robotics, primarily due to gravity and the problem of resistance offered by water to motion. Fishes are the best swimmers in nature. Inspired from the fish we create a design for underwater robots based on the mechanism of motion of the fish. The advantages and applications of this model are explained. The proposed model was experimentally made and tested underwater. The results are described in this paper.
