Control of Oscillating Foil for Propulsion of Biorobotic Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

The paper treats the question of control of a laterally and rotationally oscillating hydrofoil for the propulsion of biologically inspired robotic (biorobotic) autonomous underwater vehicles (BAUVs). Sinusoidal oscillations of foils produce maneuvering and propulsive forces. The design is based on t...
