“…The basic elements of the three propulsion modes are summarized in Table 1. Some review papers focus on the motion control of robot fishes [11][12][13][14], while others focus on the design, fabrication, and propulsion methods of robot fishes [15][16][17]. There is also a review paper that focuses on the perception of robot fishes [18].…”

In the last few years, there have been many developments and significant accomplishments in the research of bionic robot fishes. However, in terms of swimming performance, existing bionic robot fishes lag far behind fish, prompting researchers to constantly innovative designs of various bionic robot fishes. In this paper, the latest designs of robot fishes are presented in detail, distinguished by the propulsion mode. New robot fishes are mainly includes soft robot fishes and rigid-soft coupled robot fishes. The latest progress in the study of the swimming mechanism is analyzed on the basis of summarizing the main swimming theories of fish. The current state-of-the-art research in the new field of motion coordination and communication of multiple robot fishes is summarized. The general research trend in robot fishes is to utilize a more efficient and robust methods to best mimic real fish while exhibiting superior swimming performance. The current challenges and potential future research directions are discussed. Various methods are needed to narrow the gap in swimming performance between robot fishes and fish. This paper is a first step to bring together roboticists and marine biologists interested in learning the state-of-the-art research on bionic robot fishes.

“…In order to fulfil some special work in the complicated or unknown environment accurately and reliably, the biomimetic robotic fish should be designed as soft as the real fishes, and the actuation strategy using a soft structure is needed due to the obvious advantages of smooth propulsion, high safety, and high mobility. It has been proven difficult to reproduce the fish-like smooth propulsion by using conventional rigid mechanisms, causing a relatively complex and unreliable propulsion structure with low efficiency and mobility [8, 9]. A soft robotic fish combining soft behaviors of real fishes with robotics is thus gradually turning up [6, 7, 10–13].…”

To design a soft robotic fish with high performance by a biomimetic method, we are developing a soft robotic fish using piezoelectric fiber composite (PFC) as a flexible actuator. Compared with the conventional rigid robotic fish, the design and control of a soft robotic fish are difficult due to large deformation of flexible structure and complicated coupling dynamics with fluid. That is why the design and control method of soft robotic fish have not been established and they motivate us to make a further study by considering the interaction between flexible structure and surrounding fluid. In this paper, acoustic fluid-structural coupling analysis is applied to consider the fluid effect and predict the dynamic responses of soft robotic fish in the fluid. Basic governing equations of soft robotic fish in the fluid are firstly described. The numerical coupling analysis is then carried out based on different structural parameters of soft robotic fish. Through the numerical analysis, a new soft robotic fish is finally designed, and experimental evaluation is performed. It is confirmed that the larger swimming velocity and better fish-like swimming performance are obtained from the new soft robotic fish. The new soft robotic fish is developed successfully for high performance.

Abstract-Uncalibrated visual servoing based on SVR-Jacobian estimator is proposed in unknown environment. Multiple support vector regression (SVR) machines are used to estimate the Jacobian matrix of images，and the nonlinear mapping between the image features of the curved line and the robot joint angle is constructed, uncalibrated robot impedance control can be carried out．Image Jacobian matrix expression with Gaussian kernel is put forward, the effectiveness of the presented approach is verified by using a 6 DOF robot with a CCD camera and a force/torque sensor installed in its end effector.
