“…A substantial number of reviews were done in the past for amphibious robots but only a few studied locomotion, in particular the comprehensive study is on bio-mimetic robots [22]; general review on amphibious robots [23]. In addition a review of a particular class of amphibious robot locomotion on bionic fish by Raj et al [19] and yu et al [31],instead a review of snake robot or serpentine locomotion reported by Liljebck et al [10], Sprawling locomotion [20], and review of gecko locomotion [32]. The other surveys reported are performed, considering metrics like motion control of underwater robots studied by [33].…”

In the past two decades, unmanned amphibious robots have proven the most promising and efficient systems ranging from scientific, military, and commercial applications. The applications like monitoring, surveillance, reconnaissance, and military combat operations require platforms to maneuver on challenging, complex, rugged terrains and diverse environments. The recent technological advancements and development in aquatic robotics and mobile robotics have facilitated a more agile, robust, and efficient amphibious robots maneuvering in multiple environments and various terrain profiles. Amphibious robot locomotion inspired by nature, such as amphibians, offers augmented flexibility, improved adaptability, and higher mobility over terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial mediums. In this review, amphibious robots' locomotion mechanism designed and developed previously are consolidated, systematically The review also analyzes the literature on amphibious robot highlighting the limitations, open research areas, recent key development in this research field. Further development and contributions to amphibious robot locomotion, actuation, and control can be utilized to perform specific missions in sophisticated environments, where tasks are unsafe or hardly feasible for the divers or traditional aquatic and terrestrial robots.

“…After nearly thirty years of research on bionic carangiform fish, the fish motion could be simplified into one joint, double joints or more joints, and corresponding biofish prototypes were developed [8][9][10]. When compared to real fish's thrust generation, simplified swimming, controlling models and optimization are reasonably accurate and useful [11][12][13][14][15]. The hydrodynamics of different caudal fins' shapes vary considerably among each other [16][17][18].…”

Inspired by carangiform fish with a high-aspect ratio of the caudal fin’s up-down swing, but also by dolphins with a similar caudal fin’s left-right swing, a robotic fish with a spatial oscillating rigid caudal fin is implemented to optimize propulsion and maneuverability, whose orientation could be transformed to any position of a taper domain. First, three steering-engines were adopted to make the conceptual prototype, and an experimental apparatus for measuring thrust, lift forces, lateral forces and torque was developed. Then, three comparison experiments, respectively corresponding to the three modes of cruise, diving and maneuvering in random space, were conducted to imitate bionic fish’s hydrodynamics. The comparison results of the experiments proved that propelling and maneuvering in any direction could be realized through changing the orientation of the spatial oscillating rigid caudal fin.

“…In the area of underwater robotics, the high mobility and stealth of fish have inspired a generation of bionic robotic fish [1], which combines the merits of fish and the functions of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). A variety of robotic fish prototypes have been developed and their maneuverability and practicality have been investigated in recent years [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Autonomous underwater missions require the construction of a stable visual sensing system. However, acquiring continuous steady image sequences is a very challenging task for bionic robotic fish due to their tight internal space and the inherent periodic disturbance caused by the tail beating. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a modified stabilization strategy that combines mechanical devices and digital image techniques to enhance the visual sensor stability and resist periodic disturbance. More specifically, an improved window function-based linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) was utilized for mechanical stabilization. Furthermore, a rapid algorithm with inertial measurement units (IMUs) was implemented for digital stabilization. The experiments regarding mechanical stabilization, digital stabilization, and target recognition on the experimental platform for simulating fishlike oscillations demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The success of these experiments provides valuable insight into the construction of underwater visual sensing systems and also establishes a solid foundation for the visual applications for robotic fish in dynamic aquatic environments.
