Abstract :
The paper is subjected to a novel design of an autonomous biomimetic robotic fish. The novel approach culminates in the usage of cable mechanics to mimic aquatic life form in specificity the Koi fish. This paper presents a holistic study and design architecture of the underwater robot. The modularity and accessibility of the design set it apart from any previous bio-mimicry experimentation or productization. This is chiefly due to the use of a polycarbonate spine maneuvered by a single servo motor and a separate module for the head to contain the microprocessor controlling the sensory data. Reduction of complexity for the common user and number of day to day underwater applications without disrupting the ecosystem are few of the real-world outcomes with the implementation of this principle of robotic fish.
