Problem Statement
Objectives
S
The objective of this project is to
create an aquatic robot, dubbed
RoboFish, that is capable of
obstacle avoidance (1.5 body
lengths apart) using onboard
sensors and completely
autonomous control. The
McKibben muscles will be used
in order to provide locomotion.
S
Program autonomous obstacle
avoidance mode
S
Redesign of tail system for a
robust system requiring
minimal maintenance
S
Improve aesthetics of the fish
